Can’t Raise A Man Lyrics by K. Michelle

Rebellious Soul

2013

[Intro]
Can’t raise a man
Mmm
Ah-ah (Ah), ah-ah-ah (Ah)
Ah-ah-ah (Ah), yeah
Listen
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
These are the signs of a grown-ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real
[Chorus]
But you can't raise a man
He's already grown, what you gon' 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
[Verse 2]
Coming home any time of night
Expecting you to let it ride
How many tears are you gonna cry?
Playing games like he'll never lose you
You know that the love is changed
How many times he called you out your name?
[Pre-Chorus]
These are the signs of a grown-ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just keeping it real
[Chorus]
'Cause you can't raise a man
He's already grown, what you gon' 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Can't raise a man
He's already grown, what you gon' do? Yeah
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
Can't raise a man
No
[Outro]
(Ah-ah) No
(Ah)
(Ah-ah-ah) Whoa
(Ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
Can't raise a man
