There aren't any ladies present here in this room, are there?
So it's just us gentlemen, isn't it?
[Verse 1]
F
You know, I won't try to please her, I can't try to appease her. Yes, I can't.
F
Even if this means that I won't be a man who sees her. Yes.
Bb
You know, she can go if she wants to go, she can run if she wants to run.
F
But that's okay, cause I believe in everything I have done.
C Bb F F C
And this way she gonna--someday she's gonna respect me.
[Verse 2]
F
She'll say, "Jonathan, what you thinking'?" and I tell her everything.
F
Even if sometimes I'm scared to tell her, and I know it's gonna sting.
Bb
If that's too much for her, and she turns cold as ice.
F
That's okay, I believe in tellin' the truth, and I'm willing to pay the
price.
C Bb F F C
And she gonna--she's gonna respect me.

F Bb F
See, I'm a man, not a boy, I can't worry what she gonna think about me.That's
true!

F
about me. I can't worry.

C Bb F F C
She gonna-she's gonna respect me.
[Verse 5]
F
Look, sometimes we bound to argue, sometimes we bound to fight. Yeah.
F
I don't want her tryin' to agree with me when I know she must still think
she's right. I don't like that.
Bb
She can't lean on me, she's gotta think for herself.
F
Well, if leavin' me's better, that's good, if she thinks that'll help. I want
her to grow up, you know.
C Bb C Bb F
And this way she's gonna--she's gonna--she's gonna --she's gonna--respect me.
F
And that's what I want.
