Lyrics

My baby wants me to stop runnin' 'round,
says it's time for us to settle down;
She's been talkin 'bout her biological clock,
well, shes in for a bit of a shock;
I've explained the natural order of biology,
but she just won't listen to me;
You see, a woman may have needs,
but a man has got to have options.

Whenever we go out,
its the only thing she talks about;
Says she don't want to live alone,
wants me to make her a home;
No matter what I say,
I can't make her see, this is just how it's supposed to be;
You see, a woman may have needs,
but a man has got to have options.

It's true that I love you so,
and I really don't want to go;
But in spite of what you mean to me,
I just got to have some flexibility;
Baby, I have what you want
but I can't give you all that you need.

My baby wants me to stop runnin' round,
says it's time for us to settle down;
She's been talkin' 'bout her biological clock, well,
she's in for a bit of a shock;
I've explained the natural order of biology,
but she just won't listen to me;
You see, a woman may have needs,
but a man has got to have options.
