:: Don't hold it against me

To my women with the utmost respect, intellect

We often forget and neglect Intuition can see through illusive intent, listen to it

Just listen

I found myself searching for a way to prevent, the detriment

And giving the impression that if you express to him what a woman needs

His comprehension is definite

But there's a difference between understanding and honoring your word

And I'm articulate, he's a good listener

But I'm hesitant 'cause he's gonna fuck up anyways

Baby just listen,

In the corners of a man's mind is a place where vulnerability hides

And intimacy is not the act of physical intertwine

But it's the isolation of two Minds

That's why he keeps his heart and his head separate

There's only one he can connect with

The multiple names on a checklist, only calls when he's desperate

I guess, it's too much pressure to be respectful and honest

It's too stressful to be keepin' promises and I'm impatient

I'm too high maintenance, way too many expectations when, we're just dating

But I'm special, right?

Deny, deny, deny

All you do is lie, word is Bond right?

But not with me because I don't know what it's like

I'll never understand the needs of a man or how to nurture

And what she doesn't know can't hurt her

But nah it's deep and you know it

I told you exactly what I wanted

And that love is exhausting but I'm not tired of you yet

[or, am I?]
