You don't want me
But you don’t want nobody else to want me
What kind of man
What kind of man are you?

You don't need me
But you don't want nobody else to need me
What kind of thing
Are you trying to send me through?

If you’re not gonna take care of business
Then stop taking up space
'Cause you're taking up
Another man's place

You don't want me
To even go to the store alone
What kind of man
What kind of man are you?

You run over me
Just to answer the telephone
What kind of thing
Are you trying to send me through?

You keep me wanting
The one thing you never gave
Well, stop taking
Taking up another man's place
I've been faithful
I've been true
But if you’re not gonna love me
What do you expect me to do

If you’re not gonna love me
And you know I need you to love me
Then you're just taking up
Taking up some man’s good space

If you're not gonna hold me
And you know I want you to hold me
You know you're taking up
Another man's place

I know a good man
And he would like to hold me
