Girl, now don't you know it's wrong
To depend on someone else to do those things that you won't do
For yourself
Lessons I've learned have changed the man I was
To step light but with caution because the road is raw
Mama used to say:
"Boy don't run away from your problems
And if you face them you will see
You'll always find a way to solve them
I will always be there for you
I will be by your side
Only one thing I ask of you:
From your fears do not hide."
Girl, I waited for too long
I've given all I can
Can you understand this man I will share with you
Lessons I've learned have changed the man I was
To step light but with caution because the road is raw
Mama used to say:
"Boy don't run away from your problems
And if you face them you will see
You'll always find a way to solve them
I will always be there for you
I will be by your side (believe me)
Only one thing I ask of you:
From your fears do not hide."
