Lyrics: Heather Headley. This Is Who I Am. Nature of a Man.

And all my girls say
What
Tie me up, tie me up
Oh, oh baby
Oh, yeah

Last night I had a dream
And I couldn't sleep
What was wrong with me

Thinkin' 'bout the fight we had
And it makes me mad
That I'd go off like that
Wish I could take it back

So baby I apologize, it wasn't right
Is there a comprise that we could find
'Cause I be thinkin' you're insensitive
But it's your language
It's just different from mine

Understand the nature of a man
And realize that we're just different
I understand that if I be me and you be you
We know love will pull us through
Understand the nature of a man
I understand

I'll be there for you
Baby, through and through
I'll be your candied yams
You know I love you boo

I'm not tryin' to be the man
Nah, ain't got that kind of nerve
Ain't tryin' to role reverse
I know I wear the purse

To me it's not about control
That's not what I want
It's your love I want
And from you I want
All the little character flaws
It's one of nature's laws
From the beginning of time

Understand the nature of a man
And realize that we're just different
I understand that if I be me and you be you
We know love will pull us through
Understand the nature of a man
I understand the nature of
Of a man I understand

You're the creamy part
Of my chocolate star
That's what you are
You stole my heart

The fragrance of a melody
I can't describe what you are for me
My baby, my baby
You do that thing for me

Understand the nature of a man
And realize that we're just different
I understand that if I be me and you be you
We know love will pull us through
Understand the nature of a man
I understand

Understand the nature of a man
And realize that we're just different
I understand that if I be me and you be you
We know love will pull us through
Understand the nature of a man
