Lyrics:
100 days, 100 nights to know a mans heart 100 days, 100 nights to know a mans heart And a little more before he knows his own
You know, a man cant play the part of a saint just so long For a day comes when his true, his true self unfolds, yes, it does He may be mellow, he may be kind, treat you, girl, all the time But theres something just beyond what hes told, hey
100 days, 100 nights to know a mans heart 100 days, 100 nights to know a mans heart And a little more before he knows his own
Wait a minute Maybe I need to slow it down just a little Take my time
I had a man tell me things (100 days, 100 nights) Oh, made me feel just like a queen (100 days, 100 nights)
And I thought he was the one (100 days, 100 nights) I, I would hold, oh yes, I did (100 days, 100 nights)
But one day I looked around (100 days, 100 nights) That old man was nowhere to be found (100 days, 100 nights)
100 days for his heart (100 days, 100 nights) To unfold (100 days, 100 nights)
100 days, 100 nights (100 days, 100 nights) To know a mans heart (100 days, 100 nights)
100 days, 100 nights (100 days, 100 nights) To know a mans heart (100 days, 100 nights) And a little more before he knows his own
