She Got Kids lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm, yeah
I mean, I know you taught my brother
So let me tell her

[Verse 1]
I know a lot of women gonna hate it
But, somebody's gotta say it
And so I nominated myself to deliver the news
That it's hard for a man to choose a lady
That already got a baby, mm-hmm
Although his feelin's may be strong
Havin' kids that don't belong to him
Holdin' on to him somehow seems wrong to him
Exposin' them to a man who may one day decide
He's tired of a family life
Now he's gotta tell that little girl a goodbye lie
When he's the only dad she's ever had in her life
And I don't wanna take that chance, please don't take offense
It's just the thought of hurtin' somebody that was innocent

[Chorus]
She got kids
Don't know if I'm ready to give
Them the things that they need to live
'Cause if we become more than just friends, what I do for her, I gotta do for them kids
She got kids
And I just wanna make sure this is
More than just a sexual trip
All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now most men think it, but they'll never say it
But what if y'all had another baby
And he's accused of choosin' favorites, and they're right
Would he be wrong for lovin' his own flesh and blood a little more?
Is he bein' human or only bein' immature?
Who's to say
That's why it's better just to wait
Take love day to day
And let love spread its own wings
And if it wants to fly away or if it decides to stay
It won't be because of any unrealistic expectations y'all done made
And he won't have to pray that little girl ain't awake
When he tiptoe out the door so he won't have to explain
I don't wanna take that chance, please don't take offense
Just don't need that kinda drama on my conscience, ohh, ooh

[Chorus]
She got kids
Don't know if I'm ready to give
Them the things that they need to live
'Cause if we become more than just friends, what I do for her, I gotta do for them kids
She got kids
And I just wanna make sure this is
More than just a sexual trip
All I wanna do is prevent those kids from gettin' hurt again
[Outro]
But then
Even knowin' that she got kids after all the—
You know, bein' concerned and all the worryin'
I just realized that, you know
I had-I had feelin's for her
And I just can't see her bein' with somebody else
I just can't
