Baggage

I know you’ve been hurt and mistreated
Disappointed so many times
But how can I be a good man for you
If you won’t let me inside?

You’ve got this wall up for self defense
And this hostile attitude
Do you think a man wants to know you
When you come off being so rude?

All I want to be is a man who cares
And maybe one day a man who loves
But I won’t fight just to be your friend
So take off those emotional boxing gloves

I will listen and I will empathize
I will try to understand
But don’t expect me to carry your baggage
Because baby, I’m not that man

So if you feel you want me
That I might be the one for you
Then you need to meet me halfway
And then I’ll carry you

I’ll carry you because I’m a real man
Who will give my woman my strength
So relax and let me be the man

Who will love you

And cherish you

And protect you

And sex you

And give you everything you need

If you just put those damned suitcases away
