She Got Kids

(I mean, I know what you're talking about brotha')

(So in the meantime)

I know a lot of women gonna hate it

But somebody's gotta say it

And so I nominated myself to deliver the news

That it's hard for a man to choose a lady

That already got a baby

Although his feelings may be strong

Having kids that don't belong to him

Holding on to him somehow seems wrong to him

Exposing them to a man who may one day decide

He's tired of the family life

(And now he's gotta tell)

That little girl a goodbye lie

(When he's the only dad)

She's ever had in her life

And I don't wanna take that chance

Please, don't take offense

It's just the thought of hurting somebody

That was innocent

(She got kids)

Don't know if I'm ready to give

(Them the things that they need to live)

'Cause if we become more than just friends

What I do for her I gotta do for them kids

(She got kids)

And I just wanna make sure this is

(More than just a sexual trip)

All I wanna do is prevent those kids

From getting hurt again

Now, most men think it but they'll never say it

But what if ya'll had another baby

And he's accused of choosing favorites?

(And they're right)

Would he be wrong for loving his own flesh and blood a little more?

Is he being human or only being immature?

(Who's to say?)

That's why it's better just to wait

Take love day to day

And let love spread its own wings

And if it wants to fly away

Or if it decides to stay

It won't be because of any unrealistic

Expectations ya'll done made

(And he won't have to pray)

That little girl ain't awake

(When he tiptoe out the door)

So he won't have to explain

(I don't wanna take that chance)

Please, don't take offense

Just don't need that kinda drama

On my conscience

(She got kids)

Don't know if I'm ready to give

(Them the things that they need to live)

'Cause if we become more than just friends

What I do for her I gotta do for them kids

(She got kids)

And I just wanna make sure this is

(More than just a sexual trip)

All I wanna do is prevent those kids

From getting hurt again

But damn, even knowing that she got kids

After all the, you know, being concerned and all the worrying

I just realized that, you know, I, I have feelings for her

And I just can't see her being with nobody else, I just can't
