Is it too much to ask to be treated like a lady?
Instead of being looked at as boys lustful cravings?
Cause I swear if I hear, "aye you bad, check it out" one more time
I think I would really tell a dude he's a waste of my time
cause if I remember correctly I fell for that line
and it was only a matter of time
before my heart was no longer mine
It already takes forever to get my heart back
after you break it and apologize so i fall for that wack line that goes
" baby i love you, and it may be hard for me to commit to you
but I swear for you there's nothing that i wouldn't do
and I'll close my eyes and cover my ears before I witness anyone else hurt you"
Notice that he said anyone else and not himself
when he's the main one causing me stress and damaging my health

Is it too much to ask for a guy to be a gentleman not only when we meet
but later down the line too and years later I don't want to say this when my daughter comes to me
and asks mommy how did you and daddy meet?
"I was on my way to school and your dad was getting a ride from his friend
then he hopped out the back seat and said aye baby can I talk to you for a second?
So I fell in love and later on had you princess"
So she can look at me like I'm stupid and say "that's it"
Maybe I'm asking for too much.
Maybe now is not the time for love.
I don't want to be treated with respect only in public
and find out later you just want me under your covers
Neither you or any other boy has been that clever yet
and still every dude thinks he's so different from the rest
Ladies if you hear these lines please don't fall for it.
This may be too much but I'm still asking for it.
