I beat you to the punchline 
Girl I love you 
Now what we 
What we gon' do 
I mean it really 
When I say I love you 
Whatever... 
I will not do 
Cause I hear your prayers 
Late at night when noone's listening 
Praying I stay the same 

I'm not your father 
I won't desert you 
I'm not your ex 
Not trying to hurt you 
I'm just a man 
Tryna love you 
I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 

Your walls are so impossible 
I'm tired 
As i'm climbing 
They keep on multiplying 
Everytime there's progress 
We regress 
And i'm stressed 
All I wanna know 
Is why you can't let it go 

I'm not your father 
I won't desert you 
I'm not your ex 
Not trying to hurt you (oh no) 
I'm just a man 
Tryna love you 
I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 

I'm not your father 
I won't desert you 
I'm not your ex 
Not trying to hurt you (oh no) 

I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 
I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 

Cause everything you ever want 
Is standing right in front of you 
Everything you ever need 
I make sure I put by for you 
And I know you're scared 
And i've had my days too 
Let's just face this thing together 

I'm not your father 
I won't desert you 
I'm not your ex 
Not trying to hurt you (no) 
I'm just a man 
Tryna love you 
I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 
Yeah 

I'm not your father 
I won't desert you 
I'm not your ex 
I will not hurt you 
I'm just a man 
Tryna love you 
I'm just a man 
Trying to love you 

Hey 
Yeah 
Give me that chance baby 
I wanna love you 
Said I wanna love you 
Let me love you baby 
Let me love you baby 
Ohh
