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
