He Can't Love You

Jagged Edge · The Best Of [2006]

I ain't no hata or nothing

But he can't love you like I can

Trust me



Ooh, ooh, ooh



As the clock strikes twelve

I'm sitting here wondering how the hell

Did I let you leave

And baby I know that I did my share

Of things to deceive you

I'm just trying to get an understanding

Of what to do

Cause I'm half way going crazy

Girl they can't fade me



He can't love you like I love you

Baby you know it too

And you should never wanna be with a man

If he can't be a man

And do the things to you like I can



He can't love you like I love you

Baby you know it too

And you should never wanna be with a man

If he can't be a man

And do the things to you like I can



I stop, and I wait, and I think

That I never met someone to make me feel

Like I'm ready to love

So I gotta do what I gotta do

Just to keep you

Keep you here with me baby

Now I feel it's time for me to say

That I need you boo

And I can't go a day without your loving

Baby I can't live without you



I know you know

No matter if you want it baby

Ain't no ifs, or buts, or maybes

And I know that one day

You'll see that he can't really love you

Like I love you



He can't love you like I love you

Baby you know it too

And you should never wanna be with a man

If he can't be a man

And do the things to you like I can



He can't love you like I love you

Baby you know it too

And you should never wanna be with a man

If he can't be a man

And do the things to you like I can



He can't, he can't love you girl

He's never gonna love you girl

Like I love you girl



He can't, he can't love you girl

He's never gonna love you girl

Like I love you girl



He can't, he can't love you girl

He's never gonna love you girl

Like I love you girl



He can't, he can't love you girl



He can't love you like I love you

Baby you know it too

And you should never wanna be with a man

If he can't be a man

And do the things to you like I can
