Song Lyrics

Can't raise a man
Hm
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah ah
Yeah

Listen
He got older, but never grew
For his life he can't tell the truth
How to love he ain't got a clue
Playing games like he'll never lose, you

Try to talk to him, can't get through
Every day he's a different dude
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real

You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy
It's 'cause he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody
If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody
'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no

Coming home any time at night
Expecting you to let it ride
How many tears are you gonna cry?
Playing games like he'll never lose you ooh
You know that the love is changed
How many times he called you out your name?
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just keeping it real

You can't raise a man
He's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy
It's 'cause he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody
If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody
You can't raise a man, no, no

Gonna take more than a miracle (a miracle)
To change him, just let him go (just let him go)
Tell me when will you decide
To do better with your life
If his momma couldn't do it what makes you think
You can train a boy to be a man, it's too late
Better off letting him go
No matter how hard you try you can't raise

You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do yeah?
You wonder why he acts like a boy
'Cause he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody
If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody
Can't raise a man, no

Ah ah oh
Ah-ah oh yeah
Ah-ah no
Ah-ah

Can't raise a man
