Gerald Levert She Done Been Lyrics

[Intro]
You brothers
You all forget you got a mama
Got a lady that stick with you through thick and thin
But you dog her, and you aren't been through half the s___ she been

You step in the church
Every morning, six a.m., up from work
Daddy always kept it real
Taught you how a man supposed to feel
(Supposed to feel)
Not afraid to cook and clean
Aren't even into the party scene
But no matter what you do
Every man that you meet
Want his cake and eat it too.

Chorus:
She been lied to, cheated on
The victim of every sad song
Her mother and her father
Definition of the perfect daughter

But she cannot find a man
Who done been half the things
She done been

If you out there raise your hand
Raise your hand
Check it out

You like the thought of making love
Occasional kisses and a few hugs
Want a family; raise some kids
Just like your mamma and your daddy did yeah
But every guy you start to dig
Comes with baggage and no gig, yeah
(Got no kind of a job)
Got a baby mama, and a lot of bills
You foot the bill, but he come and goes at will

Chorus,
She been lied to, cheated on
The victim of every sad song
Her mother and her father
Definition of the perfect daughter

But she cannot find a man
Who done been half the things
She done been

Said, give your baby a standing ovation
Got her own college education
Raise her babies all alone
Always in a the house but never at a home

But she cannot find a man
Who done been half the things
She done been

24 hours in labor (she done been)
She been abused by her man (she done been)
Out there on the welfare (she done been)
You all do not seem to understand (she done been)
Private messaging once a month (she done been)
Scrapping up dollars to get the baby lunch, (she done been)
Left at the alter by her sucker man (she done been)
You all do not seem to understand (she done been)
You do not seem to understand (she done been)
Called b____es and hoes for no reason (she done been)
Getting reeked on by the man she was pleasing (she done been)
It was her best friend (she done been)
Can you find a man who done been through what she done been yeah

But she cannot find a man
Who done been half the things
She done been.
