Another day, another life
and i just can't just keep on livin' this life
my girl don't have a clue 'bout all the things i do
leavin' her to get to you (you)
i should be ashamed of myself

(and inside) and inside i swear it's drivin me crazy
cuz i keep on thinking about my baby
how could i do her wrong
and tearin up my home no more no more no more

sometimes we tell the truth, sometimes we tell a lie
sometimes we make you laugh, sometimes we make you cry (make you cry)
i'm tryin to understand, help me understand
i know sometimes a man's gon' be a man
sometime a man gon be a man

another day i get another try
to make up for the wrong i did to you
just thinkin' to myself (self)
i know there's no one else (no one else)
who can do me like you do (do me like you do)

and inside i swear it's drivin' me crazy
cuz i keep on thinkin about my baby
how could i do her wrong
and tearin' up my home no more no more no more

sometimes we tell the truth, sometimes we tell a lie
sometimes we make you laugh, sometimes we make you cry
i'm tryin to understand, help me understand (help me understand)
i know sometimes a man's gon' be a man
a man gon' be a man sometimes

i'm not lookin for excuses no more
bout to give in and bout to let go (?)
and love you like your s'posed to be loved girl (the way your s'posed to be)
i'm not lookin for excuses no more
about to give in, about to let go (?)
(oooh) i'mma give you what you need

sometimes we tell the truth, sometimes we tell a lie (tell a lie)
sometimes we make you laugh (make ya laugh girl), sometimes we make you cry (or make you cry)
i'm tryin to understand, i'm tryin to understand (baby)
i know sometimes a man's gon' be a man
a man gon' be a man sometimes

sometimes (ohh) sometimes sometimes (ohh oo-ooohh oohh)
imma do better babe (ooh)
imma do better babe (ooh)
