Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Before you say another word now, tell me
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know yes I wanna know now
I wanna know said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Oh not with that big broad smile
And that sexy dress you wear
It's totally impossible
For a man with eyes not to stare
There is no reason to be so uptight
When you got everything alright
By now you should know
You're every man's fantasy
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know, know
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know yes I wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
Absolutely nothing at all
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Hey girl check out your style
Brothers going wild
It's hard to keep control
When your right there on that throne
So little girl don't cramp my style
Wave your hand give me a smile
'Cause after all I'm one of your fans, yeah
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know know
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know, I wanna know, wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
Said I wanna know said I wanna know know
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Oh not with that big broad smile
And that sexy dress you wear
It's totally impossible
For a man with eyes not to stare
There is no reason to be so uptight
Now when you got everything alright
You should know by now
You're every man's fantasy, yeah, oh yeah
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know yes I wanna know know
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Absolutely nothing at all
What can you do to stop a man from trying?

The song "Can't Stop A Man" by Beres Hammond is a song about a man's desires and the impossibility of stopping a man from trying to pursue what he wants. The chorus repeatedly asks the question of what can be done to stop a man from trying, to which the answer is always "nothing." The verses highlight the beauty of a woman, her fashion, and her power, but also convey that no matter what she does, men will still be captivated by her.
The opening lines of the song ask the listener to pause before saying another word and to answer the question of what can be done to stop a man from trying. The song then goes on to discuss how a woman's physical beauty and power can captivate men, making it impossible to resist their desires. The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the futility of trying to prevent a man from going after what he wants.
The final verse of the song highlights the power dynamic between men and women, with the woman being depicted as a queen on a throne, and the man being one of her adoring fans. The song overall is a celebration of desire and the pursuit of what one wants, with the acknowledgement that in some cases, it may be impossible to prevent.
