I Want My Love to Rest Tonight |
Sisters, dont blame my man too much |
I know hes doing his best |
I know his fear and loneliness |
He can do no more, no less |
He was brought up by us women |
And the world that told him to be a man |
He reached and stretched to be the one |
While millions more tried to be that one |
I want my man to rest tonight |
So he can face the world tomorrow |
I want my love to sleep tonight |
So he can deal with tomorrow |
Sisters, don’t blame your man to much |
You know hes doing his best |
You know his fear and loneliness |
He can do no more, no less |
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls |
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears |
He sees girls chasing after superstars |
While their men are sitting behind bars |
I want my man to rest tonight |
So he can face the world tomorrow |
I want my love to sleep tonight |
So he can deal with tomorrow |
Sisters, don’t blame our men too much |
We know they’re doing their best |
We know their fear and loneliness |
They can do no more, no less |
They were told by us to get ahead |
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong |
Nothing short of a living god |
Nothing short of James Bond |
If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed |
But that the society is to be blamed |
We could then come together again |
And direct our energies towards changing the world |
We’re all blind and crippled mates |
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states |
We don’t know how to cope with ourselves |
Or to love our mates for being themselves |
I want my love to rest tonight |
So he can face the world tomorrow |
I want my love to sleep tonight |
So he can deal with tomorrow |
