Time to Love a Man

I can't say I'm better then him,
'cause it wouldn't be that true.
Long ago I stood where he stands,
but it's something I worked through.

I always pace myself; slow or fleet.
I can go where he would balk.
I'm standing on my own two feet
while he's learning how to walk.

I know he was your pride and joy
but he lied and then he ran.
Honey, you loved a little boy
now it's time to love a man.

Equal joining of our minds must
harbor a new dimension.
I speak true words of love and trust
while he shouts for attention.

You could spend the rest of your life
weaning that little lost lamb.
You tried hard to be his good wife,
now it's time to love a man.

I not a friend for fair weather;
I'll be there when you are blue.
I want to tie hearts together
while he can't even tie his shoe.

I have long been out on my own
and before you now I stand.
It'll be years before he's grown,
now it's time to love a man.

I can do things to your body;
make you cry out when you come.
My love-work is never shoddy
while he still sucks on his thumb.

You used to love a little boy
and I wasn't in your plan.
You should never be his play toy.
It's high time you loved a man!

Are you gonna sit there watchin
while your whole life passes by?
I'm so tired of all this talkin,
you should live before you die.
