In My Own Way Lyrics

Allow me to be different, not what you've seen before

They probably said they was a man but me, I mean it more

You said you want a alpha male, but you ain't seeming sure

Have I consistently proven trusting in me is pure

I will work for approval, but all I see is more

The next step is removal, wasting my time

You're not looking promising

I know they wasted your time with broken promises

You've been living in bondage it's a struggle, can't believe that it's real

Good men do exist, but we ain't footing the bill

We got needs too

There is no knight in shining armor just to save the day

We both damaged goods, and sometimes karma pays the way

I'm really not hard to please, but I really hope you understand

While they may be all the same, well me I'm a different Man

Values and principles, I'm kinda old fashioned

Respect to me is everything, and I will give you what you asking

In my own way

Answer the phone, answer the text

It's little things like that that damage mutual respect

I know we all get busy, but making time is the best

Way to show someone that somebody else is a threat

Or I'm not that important, cause you ain't replied yet

You know that pissed me off, I told you many times bet

You say that just is you

Okay, I can respect that, but why are you the one with trust issues

If I done that to you, then you will lose your wig

So lose the manipulation, boo

Lose it big, you got issues

Something you need to iron out, I'll holla

Until then, time out

I'm really not hard to please, but I really hope you understand

While they may be all the same, but me I'm a different Man

Values and principles, I'm kinda old fashioned

Respect to me is everything, and I will give you what you asking

In my own way

She said all she wanted was the rights

To take your last name, and be the wife

You made her number one and said the vows for life

Till death do us part, but as you crept through the dark

You forgot about ya family, busy chasing the tail

Made two babies on the side, and that ain't tasting too well

Alimony, child support, now she replacing the mail

It took her years to heal, she was taken through hell

The kids are doing better, she works a nine to five

To double up on her cheddar, not much free time

Cause her schedule won't let her, so when I took her on the date

I leaned over my plate as we ate, and I said

I'm really not hard to please, but I really hope you understand

While they may be all the same, but me I'm a different man

Values and principles, I'm kinda old fashioned

Respect to me is everything, and I will give you what you asking

In my own way

In my own way
