《I Want My Love to Rest Tonight》歌词

[00:00:12] Sisters don't blame my man too much

[00:00:18] I know he's doing his best

[00:00:25] I know his fear and loneliness

[00:00:30] He can do no more no less

[00:00:36] He was brought up by us women

[00:00:42] And the world that told him to be a man

[00:00:48] He reached and stretched to be the one

[00:00:54] While millions more tried to be that one

[00:00:57] I want my love to rest tonight

[00:01:06] So he can face the world tomorrow

[00:01:12] I want my love to sleep tonight

[00:01:18] So he can deal with tomorrow

[00:01:24] Sisters don't blame your man to much

[00:01:31] You know he's doing his best

[00:01:37] You know his fear and loneliness

[00:01:43] He can do no more no less

[00:01:48] He was told by his mothers to never trust girls

[00:01:54] He was told by his fathers to never shed tears

[00:02:00] He sees girls chasing after superstars

[00:02:06] While their men are sitting behind bars

[00:02:13] I want my love to rest tonight

[00:02:19] So he can face the world tomorrow

[00:02:25] I want my love to sleep tonight

[00:02:31] So he can deal with tomorrow

[00:02:37] Sisters don't blame our men to much

[00:02:43] We know they're doing their best

[00:02:48] We know their fear and loneliness

[00:02:55] They can do no more no less

[00:03:01] They were told by us to get ahead

[00:03:07] Be gentle and tender yet hard and strong

[00:03:13] Nothing short of a living god

[00:03:19] Nothing short of james bond

[00:03:25] If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed

[00:03:30] But that the society is to be blamed

[00:03:37] We could then come together again

[00:03:43] And direct our energies towards changing the world

[00:03:49] Were all blind and crippled mates

[00:03:55] Frustrated would-be presidents of united states

[00:04:01] We don't know how to cope with ourselves

[00:04:07] Or to love our mates for being themselves

[00:04:13] I want my love to rest tonight

[00:04:19] So he can face the world tomorrow

[00:04:26] I want my love to sleep tonight

[00:04:32] So he can deal with tomorrow
