If I can't be the man 
Am 
Tell me what I am 
Em  
Tell me what I'm here for

If I can't be the one 
Am 
Tell her what I've done 
Em 
What good can I be for? 
Dm                 Em 


Did I not do enough 
Am 
To save the two of us? 
Em 
What more could I give her? 
Dm                     Em 

               
What more could I do 
Am 
To see her point of view?

Why can't I believe her?

Sometimes I think they say 
Am          Dm          
I can't take it no more

Oh, Jamelia

You've gotten nowhere 
              G 
And taken my hope 
   Am     Dm   G 


Sometimes I think they say

And taken my hope
