You remind me of a guy that I once knew
He a couple of kids, Just like you do
But being a father was something he would not do
This is why I just can not date you

See the thing about you that caught my eye
Was how good you looked in that suit and tie,
You had jokes, you humor seemed fly
But you stuttered when I asked you why

You have kids, but they're never with you
You came at me with that lame excuse
their mother won't let me see them, But that's just a
ruse
Cause nothing could stop you if you wanted to

You remind me of a guy that I once knew
He neglected his kids, just like you do
Always professed his love like it were true
But only the courts made him do the things he should
do

He was never around for their adversities
Went in and out of their lives, just as he pleased
More out than in, when it suited his needs
When times were hard he disappeared with ease

Now you say "What has that got to do with you"
You'll treat me like a queen, if I see you through
But I'd have to be a fool
To think one day you might treat me any less cruel

You remind me of a guy that I once knew
He told lots of lies like they were true
About his kids, whom he barely knew
That's the reason I can't get with you

Swear up and down, you go see when you can
You gotta work too, spend some time with your friends
But if your kids aren't your biggest fans
I don't think that makes you much of a man

You remind me of a guy that I once knew
Had no sense of responsibility, like you
Thought I would sympathize like some women do
but until you do right by your kids, I can't be with you
