The Man In Your Mind

VERSE 1
Baby, when did I begin
The battle for your love
Competing with him?
Well, I'm up for a fair fight
With any man that's real
But how do I go toe-to-toe
With a man that's an idea?

CHORUS
Girl, come back to real world!
You'd rather listen to persuasions
Of your imagination
You'd rather spend time
With the man
With the man in your mind

VERSE 2
I can't figure you out
Don't know what else to do
You're not interested in me
Loving you
You don't want a man who's caring
It's clear, I'm on the shelf
I'm right here and you're somewhere else

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

VERSE 3
Well, my bags are packed
They're sitting by the door
I've done all I can
I can't do this anymore
I need a girl that's caring
A girl that needs me too, cause
Love is more than a mental rendezvous

AMENDED CHORUS
Girl, goodbye, from the real world
You'd rather listen to persuasions
Of your imagination
You can't escape, you're doing time
With the man
With the man in your mind (3X)
