This song goes out to everybody

Who had somebody and you knew they was right

But some kind of way, you messed up anyhow



I remember when we first met

You said you wanted everything

I tried my best to make it happen but

What you said you didn't mean

Now the tables turned

You feel like your bridge is burned

I just tried to be a man babe

You know you did the wrong thing girl

You don't understand me

I don't think you heard me

(I realized, I can't take the pain)

You know you hurt me bad baby

(But now I see, and now I know)

Now I see you really wasn't ready for me



You can't handle a true man

One who really, really wants to be

You can't handle a true man

Girl I give you my cream and everything

You can't handle a true man

One who really wants you to understand

You can't handle a true man

Said I gave you all my lovin' babe, anytime you want it babe



I tried my best to give you right girl

But you act like you don't like it

Now I see that we weren't meant to be

Even though I thought that you were made for me

Here I go again, it feels like a lonely sin, that I made

How ya just let me go baby

And it truly, really hurts so bad

And why you wanna make me so sad?

(I realized, I can't take the pain)

Ooh why did ya hurt me so bad?

(But now I see, and now I know)

And now I know you wasn't ready baby you can't handle it



You can't handle a true man

One who really, really wants to be

You can't handle a true man

Girl I give you my cream and everythin

You can't handle a true man

One who really wants you to understand

You can't handle a true man

Said I gave you all my lovin' babe, anytime you want it babe



Yeah, know when I first saw you girl

I truly thought you were the one for me

And one day you finally made me see baby



Too bad you couldn't handle

All that I had in store

Messed it up the first time and now you want some more

Wanting what you like and you ruined my life

And now you wanna make it right



You can't handle a true man

One who really, really wants to be

You can't handle a true man

Girl I give you my cream and everything

You can't handle a true man

One who really wants you to understand

You can't handle a true man

Said I gave you all my lovin' babe, anytime you want it babe



I got a true love baby, I need a true love

Someone treat me right

I don't wanna fuss and fight

Give me true love baby, I need a true love

You can't handle a true man



I got a true love baby, I need a true love

Someone treat me right

I don't wanna fuss and fight

Give me true love baby, I need a true love

You can't handle a true man



You can't handle a true man

One who really, really wants to be

You can't handle a true man

Girl I give you my cream and everything

You can't handle a true man

One who really wants you to understand

You can't handle a true man

Said I gave you all my lovin' babe, anytime you want it babe
