Just a Man Live at the House of Blues by Raphael Saadiq Lyrics
[Intro: Raphael Saadiq]
From the Baby Boy soundtrack
Something I never performed live
Where you at? Keep it going
Devin the Dude, y'all, Houston, Texas
[Chorus: Devin the Dude, Raphael Saadiq]
You see I'm just a man
I'm tryna do all that I can
Don't know why you don't understand
The situations I be in (Say what?)
There may have been other
Undercover secret lovers
But you're my main thang
You're my main thang
[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]
I've been tryin' to
Figure this out
What's this all about?
All we do is fight, scream and shout
There's been days
That I lied to you
And you lied to me too, yeah
Once again (You don't trust me)
I know you can (I'm not worthy of you now)
I'm not worthy
But I think we've come to far
Girl, you know
(They don't like it when shit is workin' out)
You're my main thang
We'll make it work somehow
[Chorus: Devin the Dude, Raphael Saadiq]
You see I'm just a man
I'm tryna do all that I can
Don't know why you don't understand
The situations I be in (Say what, Devin?)
There may have been other undercover secret lovers
You're my main thang
You're my main thang
[Verse 2: Devin the Dude]
I can't lie, I did cheat
But tell me why should I beat my meat
When there's freaks for weeks in my type of work
You know I love you, girl, but see, I like to flirt
With these real fine bitches
I give 'em what they want and make it feel like nine inches
But I apologize for thighs I've been between
Yours is like dope and I'm just a fiend
There may have been others but none like you
So to get my shit together here's what I'm gon' do
All that I can, I'm your man and you're my woman
So don't treat it like an omen
I know men been tryna do their best just to get with ya
But you need to take heed, see the big picture
I really wanna be here with you, girl
'Cause you're my main thang
(Devin the Dude, y'all)
[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq]
What's been said and done
It was all my fault
I guess I never thought
That you would ever put me out
Now I'm tryin' to
Walk the line with you
That's what I wanna do
No, I wasn't true, yeah
Tell me when
When can I talk to you
Show you how I can make it right
You see, it really wasn't worth it
Her position wasn't right
[Chorus: Devin the Dude, Raphael Saadiq]
You see I'm just a man
I'm tryna do all that I can
Don't know why you don't understand
The situations I be in (Say what, what, what?)
There may have been other undercover secret lovers
You're my main thang (Say what?)
You're my main thang
[Outro: Devin the Dude, Raphael Saadiq]
There may have been other undercover secret lovers
You're my main thang (Say it, y'all, say it)
You're my main thang
There may have been other undercover secret lovers
You're my main thang (Say it, y'all)
You're my main thang
There may have been other undercover secret lovers
You're my main thang (Say it, y'all, say it)
You're my main thang
