And all my girls say   What   Tie me up, tie me up   Oh, oh baby   Oh, yeah      Last night I had a dream   And I couldn't sleep   What was wrong with me      Thinkin' 'bout the fight we had   And it makes me mad   That I'd go off like that   Wish I could take it back      So baby I apologize, it wasn't right   Is there a comprise that we could find   'Cause I be thinkin' you're insensitive   But it's your language   It's just different from mine      Understand the nature of a man   And realize that we're just different   I understand that if I be me and you be you   We know love will pull us through   Understand the nature of a man   I understand      I'll be there for you   Baby, through and through   I'll be your candied yams   You know I love you boo      I'm not tryin' to be the man   Nah, ain't got that kind of nerve   Ain't tryin' to role reverse   I know I wear the purse      To me it's not about control   That's not what I want   It's your love I want   And from you I want   All the little character flaws   It's one of nature's laws   From the beginning of time      Understand the nature of a man   And realize that we're just different   I understand that if I be me and you be you   We know love will pull us through   Understand the nature of a man   I understand the nature of   Of a man I understand      You're the creamy part   Of my chocolate star   That's what you are   You stole my heart      The fragrance of a melody   I can't describe what you are for me   My baby, my baby   You do that thing for me      Understand the nature of a man   And realize that we're just different   I understand that if I be me and you be you   We know love will pull us through   Understand the nature of a man   I understand      Understand the nature of a man   And realize that we're just different   I understand that if I be me and you be you   We know love will pull us through   Understand the nature of a man
