I'm Different

I've told you before and I'll tell you once again,

I'm not like your last man- I'm different from him.

I don't lie and I don't cheat- I don't want nothing from them,

You keep suspecting I'm doing something- Those girls are just friends.

Yes I talk to them- And yes, sometimes we chill,

But that's it and I promise- I'm trying to keep it real.

But you keep accusing and I'm getting tired of this shit,

Just because your last man cheated it doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.

Everytime I see you all you do is ask questions,

Who was I with, how long were we there- So I start testing.

I hesistate with my answers- I'll look around the room,

Sure enough, what you do?- You start to assume.

Start calling me out my name- Asking who was the bitch,

All I can do is shake my head- And say look at this shit.

If you don't trust me- This ain't gonna never work,

You want to have a relationship- But you never trust my words.

I told you before- But you just don't listen,

I'm not like those dudes- Trust me, I'm different.

You're the only girl I want- The only one I love,

You're the only one I want to kiss- You the only one I think of.

I understand your concerns- You've been hurt too many times,

But I'm not like them- I have a totally different mind.

I thought you saw the signs- I call you everyday, 3 or 4 times.

I stop by your work just to bring you flowers,

I let you call me anytime- No matter the hours.

If you need me I'm there- Making love in the shower.

Back rubs in the jacuzzi- I have you bath water ran,

Cook you dinner on occasion- Being a real man.

Diamond ring on Valentines- I quit all my bad ways,

Just to make you happy- But all you seem to say.

Is that I'm messing around- Just because I got friends,

I'm sorry boo but no- I don't want nothing with them.

I don't know what I gotta do to prove to you- I just wish you'd listen,

I know you've been hurt before, but baby- I'm not like them,

I'm different.

This was written for all the guys who have felt this before...We try to be honest but sometimes females don't trust us because of what happened before..Understandable, but not fair.
