Klymaxx - The Man In My Life lyrics

[Chorus:] If you wanna be the man in my life Then you got to make the grade this time If you wanna be the man in my life You've got to [?] If you wanna be the man in my life You got to make that move in time You wanna be the man in my life? You got to try [Verse 1:] It's been a long time coming Now you've got the chance to make it happen Please don't take it light So make your move and do it carefully and I could be reponsive if you get it right Cause I don't want to feel like you're imitating All of the things that I would want my man to be It's a shame to try, baby Don't you hate to live that lie? The man you are You've got to be him naturally The most precious things that two people share Are the hardest things to fake So here I am, baby, now be a man What you gonna do? Ooh! [Chorus] [Verse 2:] Now often times we women tend to Think the common thread [?] in pa**ing Is the bottom line You've got to make clear your intentions To avoid misunderstandings Let's try to start out right 'Cause I can't build my life, baby, on ifs and maybes Or hopeless dreams and other false realities Got to time, baby, realize the bottom line Then start to build a strong foundation plan For, see, there's a time to dream and a time to build And a time to make it work So here I am, baby, now be a man What you gonna do? Ooh! [Chorus] [Bridge:] Come on All I need All I need is a man to love me You, you could be you, baby If you could only make the grade this time, baby So I'm asking you What you gonna do? Ooh! [Chorus](2x) If you want to be the man in my life If you want to be the man in my life
