"In Love, You Gotta Act Like a Woman, But Think Like a Man."

Think Like a Man - Jennifer Hudson ft. Ne-yo
Why you call me your dream bed?
And foolish of me I believe that
You said every king needs his queen babe
That's why you needed me baby
Right in between lost and love
You go and mess things up
Now there's no we babe
There's just you and there's me baby

There was us, there was trust
There was happen and change, I know
Silly you, silly me, silly us, what I've wait

But in love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman and think like a man
But in love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman and think like a man

[Ne-Yo]
Now I'm gonna keep it realer with you now that I ever been
Wish we would never been, girl we was better friends
You didn't had to tell me, what went right and when
Cause you wasn't my girlfriend, we had a good thing
Then after we were finished,
You go your way, I go my way, it was whatever
Tell me what ever happens
Think this wanna gonna be better
And now I'm telling you lies,
All because I hate to see the tears in your eyes
Of course I want my cake, and needed too, I'm a guy
And of course, you don't understand,
But you would if you thought like a man

But in love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman and think like a man
But in love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman and think like a man

These are words of pure truth; of pure protection. When it comes to love, there is such a fine line, such a difference, between the way guys and girls view this emotion. As girls, we go into every relationship hoping for the best - we may say we expect for the worst, but do we really? We create this fantasy, this image in our mind of the perfect relationship; we predetermine every text they'll send us and every look they'll give us in the hall. We over think, over analyze and over anticipate every moment. But this is only going to bring us pain. In the end, we have to do exactly what this song tells us to do: go into every relationship acting like a woman but with the mindset of a man. They don't think about every little detail, they just go with the flow and whatever happens, happens. We feel the pressure to look our best, do our best and be our best, in order to impress "that guy," but in the back of our minds we must remember what guys really want. We have to remember that, "I love you." "You are beautiful." or "You mean the world to me." are all just words unless they have actions to back them up. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done because it's what we want to hear, our hearts devour this and we believe them, and we believe them with all we have. Why? Because we're girls. We want to be loved, we want to be called beautiful, and we want to feel wanted. But we have to go into every young relationship without expectations, we have to remain lighthearted, and we must be ourselves - never sacrificing who we are for anyone - because while we are young, we have to remember that, by nature, guys don't know how to treat a girl. So always remember...in love, you gotta act like a woman, but think like a man.
