Gregory Porter – Be Good (Lion's Song) Lyrics 1 year ago
Unrequited love, simping, friendzone - all decent answers. I tear up when I hear

I trim my lion's claws and I...
And I cut my mane
And I would if I could
But that woman treats me the same

He’s trying to change his true nature into a PICK ME for a woman who is playing games. At the end he learns he has to be himself and confront her with confidence and authenticity NOTE - there is nothing in the song about her loving him back at the end?

@Rapsody this is called simping - and the woman is taking full advantage.

.Nothing old school here.A man is infatuated by a woman who won’t acknowledge him for who he is. He simps for her, changes himself to get her interest and still she ignores him. Yet you think this is playing hard to get.

HE realizes he his who HE is and stops trying to be someone else to get her to see HIM. You saying she uses her nature to calm his so he doesn’t hurt her and give her what she needs. That’s playing games. I’m sure if a man did this to a woman - you’d scream he was being a scoundrel and label him a liar the second she became unhappy with him.

This is a song about a man being true to himself and his feelings, not changing for a woman- who will respect him less for being inauthentic. Finally the success comes showing HIS confidence and masculinity what he will do for her.

These are games women play with all types of men to gain rewards; from online dinner dates with lonely men to getting a proposal. Men have feelings too and women want us to think and feel like them. If we did, women wouldn’t respect us. If that’s the book you want to take a page from - I hope I never read it.
