作曲 : Jennings Yeah, I mean I know what you talkin' about, brother So let me tell him I know a lot of women gonna hate it But, somebody’s gotta say it And so I nominated myself to deliver the news That it's hard for a man to choose a lady that already got a baby Although his feelings may be strong Having kids that don’t belong to him Holdin' on to him, somehow seems wrong to him Exposing them to a man who may one day decide He’s tired of the family life Now he’s gotta tell that little girl a 'goodbye lie' When he’s the only Dad she’s ever had in her life And I don’t wanna take that chance, please don’t take offense It’s just the thought of hurting somebody that was innocent She got kids, don’t know if I’m ready to give Them the things that they need to live‘ Cause if we become more than just friends What I do for her, I gotta do for them kids And I just wanna make sure this is more than just a sexual trip All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again, yeah Now most men think it but they’ll never say it But what if ya’ll had another baby And he’s accused of choosing favorites, and they’re right Would he be wrong for lovin' his own flesh and blood a little more?
