He Wasn't Man Enough Lyrics
Darkchild oh yeah
Toni Braxton oh
Ha ha uh huh
Yeah uh uh
Darkchild yeah
Listen girl
Who do you think I am?
Don’t you know that he was my man?
But I chose to let him go
So why do you act like I still care about him?
Looking at me like I’m hurt
When I’m the one who said I didn’t want it to work
Don’t you forget I had him first?
1 – What you thinkin’?
Stop playing me
He wasn’t man enough for me
If you don’t know now here’s chance
I’ve already had your man
Do you wonder just where he’s been, yeah?
Not be worried about him
Now it’s time you know the truth
I think he’s just the man for you
2 - What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back them?
Do you know about your husband, girlfriend?
I’m not thinking ‘bout him
But you married him
Do you know I made him leave?
Do you know he begged to stay with me?
He wasn’t man enough for me
Listen girl
Didn’t he tell you the truth?
If not then why don’t you ask him?
The maybe you can be more into him
Instead of worrying about me
And hopefully you won’t find
All the reasons why his love didn’t count
And why we couldn’t work it out
Repeat 1
Repeat 2 (2x)
Oh yeah
So many reasons why are love is through, yeah
What makes you think he’ll be good to you, no
It makes no sense cause he will never change
Girl you better recognize the game, oh yeah
What are you thinking?
Do you know about us back them?
Do you know about your husband, girlfriend?
I’m not thinking ‘bout him
But you married him
You know I made him leave
And you know he begged to stay with me
He wasn’t man enough for me
Repeat 2 till end
i broke my heart over a man whom i later realise was not man enough for me...
Interesting story. Try writing a novel.
"Interesting story. Try writing a novel."
LMAO XDD
I like this song for the tune and stuff. The meaning is obvious. But the song AND the meaning are... o_O;
man enough for her... well no shit... listen to her voice. it's so deep i don't think any man's voice would be deeper than hers...
songs about a girl trying to tell another girl i don't want man i had him already and... blah blah
haha okay so i agree with everyone, her voice is pretty deep, but the song seems to reach out to people who've had a bad expierience. not trying to complain.. ive had great relationships, ive been lucky, however i know theyre out there.
i think some lyrics might be wrong.. instead of : "do you know about your boyfriend, girlfriend"
im pretty sure its: "do you know i dumped your boyfriend, girlfriend."
thats all. :)
i dont think this song is as simple as it sounds. she's not being all noble trying to warn this girl about her ex being 'not man enough'. the truth is, she's missing the ex and she's jealous this girl married him so she's slagging the guy off trying to hide her jealousy.
a) why would u bother if u truly didn't care about ur ex? obviously u care enough to know they're married and trying to ruin their relationship by reminding the girl how much her husband used to love this other woman (who wants to hear that?!) b) she explicitly says 'i'm not thinking about him', which is an obvious lie cos she keeps asking the girl to ask him about their past c) she reminisces he 'begged to stay' with her, but he wasn't 'man enough' (said no to him) but regrets it now d) she's jealous that they 'couldn't work it out', but it obviously did for them (cos they're married). she tries to sabotage it by saying 'it makes no sense cos he will never change'
i think this is a classic case of not knowing what u're missing til it's gone....
I agree completely. She's jealous and trying to make herself feel better by telling his present girl how bad he is and that it's not gonna work out.

And she's bragging: "I already had your man" - such a stupid and childish statement.

Nice tune, though. I like hearing it.

i disagree totally.. it's the stupid wife that thinks that Toni is after her husband.. while Toni is saying that she's already been there, done that and got RID of him so why would the wife even think she wants back some trash she already threw out? She's basically telling the wife that she realized the man was no good, she decided to do something about it and get rid of him, he wanted her to take him back but she refused so she's clueless as to why the wife would even think she wanted him back after all...

She's basically telling the wife that she realized the man was no good, she decided to do something about it and get rid of him, he wanted her to take him back but she refused so she's clueless as to why the wife would even think she wanted him back after all that time.. and eventually the wife will learn, through his dirty ways why he wasn't "man enough" for Toni, and possibly the wife herself... because he's grimy and she can't see through HER jealousy now but in time she will see it's not Toni that's the problem its the man.. and she's basically pitying the chick who actually was stupid enough to marry him (a lot of dumb broads marry no good men thinking they got a "prize" and later find out the hard way why other women let them go... but i digress)... her references to THEIR relationship are basically telling the wife that hey.. dont get gassed up.. I left HIM and maybe you should ask him why.. since you obviously don't know the type of individual you are dealing with...
who do i think i am? A real woman with morals and values not no bullshit inside Dont you know he was my man? for two years i dealt with the nigga no wait for almost 4 years But i chose to let him go because i knew there would be a real man out there for me so why do i act like i still care about him? i feel nothing for this person
looking at me like im hurt my momma taught me better than to let me people's words get to me when im still standing here with the strength and love that my heart will never fail to create never will i let the bitters of this world infect me When im the one that said that i didnt want it to work many times i told him to stop calling me and stop looking for me i broke it off after the incidents Did you forget i had him first? there will never ever be anyone like me, he will never have the same love again because i had first and im done with it now =]
whatcha thinkin stop blaming me FIND OUT WHOSE FAULT IT REALLY WAS he wasnt man enough for me stupid games people play
Whatcha' thinking Stop blaming me He wasn't man enough for me If you don't know now is your chance U BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES I already had your man Do you wonder just where he's been DONT YOU WONDER?

And I'd be worried about him Now it's time you know the truth I think he's just the man for you his perfect for you =] lol whore for whore ;) (just the truth)
(chorus) What are you thinking Do you know about us back then Do you know I dumped your husband Girlfriend IT WAS ME WHO LEFT HIM I'm not thinking 'bout him But you married him Do you know I made him leave many times i told him to LEAVE ME ALONE and he said he came back for me Do you know he begged to stay, with me (with me) SHoulda have seen the way he cried for me, tried to break in my window BUT He wasn't man enough for me!
Didn't he tell you the truth his a LIAR If not, then why don't you ask him And maybe you could be more into him Instead of worrying 'bout me And hopefully, you won't find All of the reasons why his love didn't count ! And why we couldn't work it out SOMEDAY you will find out yourself
Whatcha' thinking Stop blaming me He wasn't man enough for me If you don't know now, now is your chance See, I already had your man Do you wonder just where he's been And I'd be worried about him I FEEL BAD FOR YOU or whoever is next after you Now it's time you know the truth I think he's just the man for you (HEs not even a man, his fixated in his childhood just the truth)
What are you thinking Do you know about us back then Do you know I dumped your husband Girlfriend !!! I'm not thinking 'bout him !!! But you married him Do you know I made him leave Do you know he begged to stay, with me He wasn't man enough for me
