Gerald Levert - She Done Been lyrics

[intro] You brotha's Ya'll forget you got a mama Got a lady that stick with you through thick and thin But you dog her And you ain't been through half the sh** she been You step in the church Every morning, six a.m., up from work Daddy always kept it real Taught you how a man s'pose to feel Not afraid to cook and clean Ain't even into the party scene But no matter what you do Every man that you meet Want his cake and eat it too 1 - she been lied to, cheated on The victim of every sad song Her mother and her father Definition of the perfect daughter But she can't find a man Who done been half the things She done been If you out there raise your hand Raise your hand Check it out You like the thought of makin love Occa**ional kisses and a few hugs Want a family, raise some kids Just like your mamma and your daddy did yeah But every guy you start to dig Comes with baggage and no gig, yeah (got no kind of a job) Got a baby mama, and alot of bills You foot the bill, but he come and go at will Repeat 1 Said, give your baby a standing ovation Got her own college education Raise her babies all alone Always in a house but never at a home Repeat 1 24 hours in labor (she done been) She been abused by her man (she done been) Out there on the welfare (she done been) Ya'll don't seem to understand (she done been) Pms ing once a month (she done been) Scrapping up dollars to get the baby lunch (she done been) Left at the alter by her s**er man (she done been) Ya'll don't seem to understand (she done been) You don't seem to understand (she done been) Called b**hes and hoes for no reason (she done been) Getting reeked on by the man she was pleasing (she done been) It was her best friend(she done been) Can you find a man who done been through what she done been yeah Repeat 1
