SHE KEEPS PASSING ME BY

My mother aint hit me when i was lil boy for nothin

everytime I didnt open the door for a woman.

See i was raised to be a gentleman

Good, kindful & intellegent

but most importantly be respectful to a woman.

So now im a grown man and Im thinkin to myself

Being a gentleman leavin me lonley and by myself

So Im sorry ma, that your hard works all went in vain

cuz girls is lookin me over and i feel like im tha blame

& as always nice guys finish last u kno its all tha same.

just anotha face in tha crowd

You see im Not a typical thug in tha club spittin game

tryin to impress u wit his car

and how many rocks is in his chain.

Meanwhile yall just get sucked in to his words like a mosquito to a flame

not realizin he treat all his "hoes" just tha same.

damn whats a man to do, what u want me to beat on you

slap u a couple times, call u a b****, or just cheat on you.

or would u rather have man that, ask how your day was,

listen to your problems, and when u sick take care of u.

A man who realize u for the beautiful individual u are

and explore your mind and treat u like a star

Time keep passin and im askin why,

Im still sittin in last place and she keep on passin me by

But imma hold my head high cuz my limits is set beyond tha sky

So go head suit yourself, choose tha playa if u want

cuz when yall in public then u kno that he gon' front

cuz deep down inside i kno u wonderin

y he not holdin ya hand and y he starin at that woman.

and his wonderin eyes dont tell u nothin but lies

ill treat u to a steak dinner he just bring u burgers n fries

And im baffled, whats wrong, and still tha girls is dissin me

yall want a good man but yet yall tha ones who killed chivalry

but naw i aint mad i forgive you, even though u kno not what u do

all tha while im still lonely feelin sad and oh so blue

and u at home alone wonderin where ya man has been

just look at tha bright side, he got some ice and a car

wit some shiny rims that spin

but i hope u feel betta when he leave u in tha cold cuz by then

all tha gentleman will b long gone and blowni in tha wind

im searchin for a woman, thats respectable and true

good personality and her smile lights up tha room

Angelic and her essence brings joy to all who come in contact

a smart educated woman, thats not wonderin where her baby dad's at

seems like alot but i just wanted yall to see

im not lookin for a perfect girl, just one thats perfect for me

so if no girl out ther can luv me for me

Im not gonna stress it cuz i guess i was born,

not to understand,

by lettin her pass,

i proved to be a better man...
