Lyrics
"Can You Be That Man?"
Written, arranged & produced by: Darryl S. Duncan
Verse1
I?m looking for somebody who can please,
Somebody who can sweep me off my feet
I?m looking for a lover and a friend,
To take me to the stars then bring me back again
Somebody who can give me what I miss
And never once forget, where his pillow is
If you think that you can handle this
Then baby let me tell you what the question is
Chorus:
Can you be that man - Tell me if you can
Do you understand - What it is I want from you, what you gotta do
Can you be that man - Can you comprehend
Do you even have a plan - To give me what I need, when I need it
Verse 2
A man who knows what he?s got to do
He knows exactly when to break the rules
Somebody who will listen when I speak
He?s got to know the meaning of responsibility
He knows how to take care of his business
He will know the power of a tender kiss
He?s got to have a sense of sensuality
Show me things I never seen, baby are you feeling me
Chorus:
Bridge:
He will show sensitivity?
share a tear with me?
He will wanna be wherever I will wanna be
He will never treat me cruel
And love me like a fool
Let me know if I?m talkin? bout you
Rap / Vamp:

Do you qualify, can you blow my mind, are you Mr right, can you be the guy
Do you fit the bill, tell me what you feel, if you got the skill, then baby lets get real
