Lyrics:

Sisters, dont blame my man too much
I know he's doing his best
I know his fear and loneliness
He can do no more, no less
He was brought up by us women
And the world that told him to be a man
He reached and stretched to be the one
While millions more tried to be that one

I want my man to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow

Sisters, don't blame your man to much
You know he's doing his best
You know his fear and loneliness
He can do no more, no less
He was told by his mothers to never trust girls
He was told by his fathers to never shed tears
He sees girls chasing after superstars
While their men are sitting behind bars

I want my man to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow

Sisters, don't blame our men too much
We know they're doing their best
We know their fear and loneliness
They can do no more, no less
They were told by us to get ahead
Be gentle and tender, yet hard and strong
Nothing short of a living god
Nothing short of James Bond

If we all knew that no ones to be ashamed
But that the society is to be blamed
We could then come together again
And direct our energies towards changing the world

We're all blind and crippled mates
Frustrated would-be presidents of united states
We don't know how to cope with ourselves
Or to love our mates for being themselves

I want my love to rest tonight
So he can face the world tomorrow
I want my love to sleep tonight
So he can deal with tomorrow
