Man Who Does

I loved a man who talked about the way he loved me so

I loved a man who talked about the things that I don’t know

I loved a man who told me what our future would hold

I thought all their promises could stand their weight in gold

I remember all I’ve heard

But now I want more than words

I want a man who does what he says he’ll do

Puts the weight to the words cause he means them too

Then I ain’t trying to figure out how he ain’t what he never was

I want a man who does really see it through

Doesn’t have to be grand, just has to be true

So when I think of love I can finally think of trust

I don’t want a man who talks

I want a man who does

When it comes to my heart every word I say I mean

I guess that’s why I’ve always been so quick to just believe

But the truth is just what’s true in the moment and that’s nobody’s fault

Well I think I’ve wrestled with expired truths for long enough

So when you say eternally

Baby show me what you mean

I want a man who does what he says he’ll do

Puts the weight to the words cause he means them too

Then I ain’t trying to figure out how he ain’t what he never was

I want a man who does really see it through

Doesn’t have to be grand, just has to be true

So when I think of love I can finally think of trust

I don’t want a man who talks

I want a man who does

I have loved the leavers, the deceivers, the believers

But now I see they’re all the same

I have seen the better, the forever, turn to never

With no one but me to blame

And I don’t know if I still even believe in love

But I want a man who does

I want a man who does what he says he’ll do

Puts the weight to the words cause he means them too

Then I ain’t trying to figure out how he ain’t what he never was

I want a man who does really see it through

Doesn’t have to be grand, just has to be true

So when I think of love I can finally think of trust

I don’t want a man who talks

I want a man who does
