A Man's View of Love

“A Man’s View of Love” 
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Why does the blame always fall on me 

Is me being the worst the only way that it can be 

For your mere enjoyment, I give every bit of myself 

You’re more than my woman, you’re my greatest wealth 

And I only ask for your understanding for the days that it rains 

But, over the simplest things, you have to nag and complain 

Then there are those days when I can do nothing right 

Because before I walk through the door, you have already started the fight 

I have never cheated on you, and I pray I never will 

But sometimes girl, you make me want to get ill 

And if I do cheat, it will be my fault, and if you cheat, it is still mine 

Because the blame falls on me each and every time 

And God forbid that I be late because I’ll never hear the end 

I don’t even try to fight because I know I can’t win 

I just have to take it and take it and take it and take it 

My only hope to calm you down is to try to get you naked 

That is my power, my only advantage over you 

Because no one has ever brought you pleasure the way that I do 

Don’t I lick you and don’t I stick you just the way that you like it 

And your g-spot, with every stroke, don’t I strike it 

I give you your greatest pleasure, and you cause me my greatest stress 

Because you think I want other girls, but I understand that I have the best 

And I’ll jeopardize that for nothing because I need you to mother my every child 

Because the most beautiful thing God ever created was, simply, your smile 

Not how it looks on your face, but how it reflects the beauty in your soul 

Which is why I love you baby and with you is the only way I will grow old
