This Ain't No One Man Show
I always feel like I need to be chasing castles
Trying to find my princess in a white dress
Still haven’t found a reason to give out my devotion
There has to be a girl out in the sea that won’t mistreat me
Maybe even one that has more to offer than just her body
Always feeling trap in this unfaithful horror story
If you want love, I want your commitment
If you want my body, well give me your essence
Want in my mind?, then show me your heart
Give and get given
This ain't no one man show
I’m not like those other men
A fool plays games, a fool rushes in
Not looking for that kind of love trip
Short lived with nothing given back
When I was young that seemed all fine
As I get older, I have better things to do with my time
So get your priorities inline, or get the fuck out
If you want love, I want your commitment
If you want my body, well give me your essence
Want in my mind?, then show me your heart
Give and get given
This ain't no one man show
Count to three, and I'll be gone
As soon as you turn your back
I'll be on to the next girl
With no regret
I know my worth, and it’s more then what I have
The mind plays tricks, so I’ll listen to my past
Won’t be that young man falling for every pretty face these days
That kind of love will leave me wounded and scarred
Chewed up and spit out on the side of the road
So it seems like it's time to say my goodbyes
Maybe we'll meet again, then hopefully you'll give me what I need

Music is a love of mine as well 😁
Always try to blend the two worlds.
If I could sing maybe it would be spoken word? Good thing I can't sing 😜
