[Intro]
Na na na na na na na
Ah aaah

[Verse 1]
I beat you to the punchline, girl I love you
Now what we what we gon' do?
I mean it really when I say I love you
Whatever he did, I will not do
Cause I hear your prayers late at night when no one's listening
Praying I stay the same

[Chorus]
I'm not your father
I won't desert you
I'm not your ex
Not trying to hurt you
I'm just a man
Tryna love you
I'm just a man
Trying to love you

[Verse 2]
Your walls are so impossible, I'm tired
As I'm climbing, they keep on multiplying
Everytime there's progress, we regress
And I'm stressed
All I wanna know, is why you can't let it go?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Cause everything you ever want
Is standing right in front of you
Everything you ever need
I make sure I put by for you
And I know you're scared
And I've had my days too
Let's just face this thing together, hey!

[Chorus]x2

[Outro]
Hey
Yeah
Give me that chance baby
I wanna love you
Said I wanna love you!
Let me love you baby
Let me love you baby
Ohh!

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
