Can't Raise a Man

Can't raise a man

Hm

Ah-ah (ha), ah-ah (ha), ah-ah (ha)

Yeah

Listen

He got older, but never grew

For his life he can't tell the truth

How to love, he ain't got a clue

Playing games like he'll never lose, you

Try to talk to him, can't get through

Every day he's a different dude

These are the signs of a grown-ass boy

Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real

'Cause you can't raise a man

He's already grown, what you gon' do?

You wonder why he acts like a boy

It's 'cause he wasn't raised right before you

Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody

If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody

'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no

Coming home any time at night

Expecting you to let it ride

How many tears are you gonna cry?

Playing games like he'll never lose you

You know that the love is changed

How many times he called you out your name?

These are the signs of a grown-ass boy

Better run for the hills, I'm just keeping it real

'Cause you can't raise a man

He's already grown, what you gon' do?

You wonder why he acts like a boy

It's 'cause he wasn't raised right before you

Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody

If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody

'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no

Gonna take more than a miracle (a miracle)

To change him, just let him go (just let him go)

Tell me, when will you decide

To do better with your life?

If his momma couldn't do it what makes you think

You can train a boy to be a man? It's too late

Better off letting him go

No matter how hard you try you can't raise

Can't raise a man

He's already grown, what you gon' do?

You wonder why he acts like a boy

'Cause he wasn't raised right before you

Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody

If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody

'Cause you can't raise a man, no

Ah-ah (ohh) (ha)

Ah-ah (ohh) (ha)

Ah-ah (no) (ha)

Ah-ah

Can't raise a man
