Cos say I can't be in a relationship
but I still feel for you
Cos you are the best woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul

Don't want to be a thorn in your side
good woman
Always be the one
to make you cry
Don't wanna be that guy
Good woman
cos you deserve everything
and I got nothing so leave me
and i'll go away better off I stay
Far from you,
because you are beautiful
Betterman I am since I
Come into contact with you
And you taught
so many things about myself
and you know this is true
but now we are apart and its all my fault
cos you know I need to be alone
Don't know myself
so how can I share me with you girl
or anyone
Cause you are
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL WOMAN…
BETTER MAN I AM COS OF YOU...
