Babyface

So many years that you sacrificed
So many chances you let go by
And girl never once did
You once complain, no way
And now he's got nerve just to criticize
You let yourself go, like you've got no pride
You do what you do hoping he'll stay, well
The first thing you do is put on your make up
But he doesn't notice a thing
It's not how it's s'posed to be

Chorus
When men grow old
Do they lose sensitivity?
When men grow old
They forget how to love
When men grow old
They have no sense of loyalty
Well if that's how it is
I don't wanna grow anymore

So many nights when you sat alone
He's out with his friends like he's got no home
But you understood that he needed his space, well
But now it seems like that he's always gone
And he won't admit there is something wrong
He finds a young girl who will take your place, well
The first thing you do
You go get your hair done
But he doesn't notice a thing
It's not how it's s'posed to be

Chorus

Time after time
Year after year
So many women are drowning in tears
Waiting and hoping and praying for love
Something that most men don't know the true meaning of
Why can't they just open their hearts?
Don't they fall in love?

Chorus

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
