(Verse 1)
He got older but never grew
For his life he can't tell the truth
How to love he ain't got a clue
Playing games like he'll never lose you
Try to talk to him, can't get through
Everyday he's a different dude
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills
I'm just tryna keep it real
(Chorus)
You can't raise a man
He's already grown what you gon' do
You wonder why he acts like a boy
He wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody
If he don't wanna you can't make nobody
'Cause you can't raise a man
no, ohhh, no, ohhh
(Verse 2)
Coming home any time of night
Expecting you to let it ride
How many tears are you gonna cry
Playing games like he'll never lose you
You know that the love has changed
How many times he called you out yo name
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills
I'm just keeping it real
(Chorus)
You can't raise a man
He's already grown what you gon' do
You wonder why he acts like a boy
He wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody
If he don't wanna you can't make nobody
'Cause you can't raise a man
no, ohhh, no, ohhh
(Bridge)
Gonna take more than a miracle
To change him, just let him go
Tell me when will you decide
To do better with your life
If his mama couldn't do it
What makes you think
You can train that boy to be a man
It's too late
Better off letting him go
No matter how hard you try
(Chorus)
You can't raise a man
He's already grown what you gon' do
You wonder why he acts like a boy
He wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gon' change nobody
If he don't wanna you can't make nobody
'Cause you can't raise a man
no, ohhh, no, ohhh
