Real Man (feat. Ne-Yo)

I need a man

I need a real man

Say what he means, mean what he say

Keep it so real, man

And he don't play

No, he don't play 'bout me for real, man

Love me for real, man

Love me for real

What's money to a man when he got that?

Spend a bag on a bag to apologize

When all he had to do was a apologize

Can't solve every problem with a dollar, I am not that

That can never be me

Need a man that really wants to please me

Do it 'cause he love me not because it's easy

I am not impressed by the diamonds on your chest

If underneath there ain't no heart

Said I need passion not attention

But your worth don't tell me who you are

Understand, understand

I need a man

I need a real man

Say what he means, mean what he say

Keep it so real, man

And he don't play

No, he don't play 'bout me for real, man

Love me for real, man

Love me for real

Yeah, love me for real

Show me something real, show me something real

Not just something I can spend, but something I can feel

Respect my intellect, not just my sex appeal

Do that and maybe we can chill

(Yo)

Don't go looking perfection, baby, ain't no truth in this

No more knights in shining armor, now it's shiny necks and wrists

But beneath these shiny diamonds you will surely find a heart

My jewelry selection and my affection are both true works of art

What I mean is I'ma treat you like you deserve to be treated

You don't ever have to ask if you need it, it's there (It's there)

Notice how I said, "need"

Baby, Ima provide so that we can proceed

Hear me when I'm talking, I'ma listen when you speak

Loving on your intellect as well as the booty

Making sure that we never lose

Run the verse back if you don't know who to choose

I need a man

I need a real man

Say what he means, mean what he say

Keep it so real, man

And he don't play

No, he don't play 'bout me for real, man

Love me for real, yeah

Love me for real

Show me something real, show me something real

Not just something I can spend but something I can feel

Respect my intellect, not just my sex appeal

Do that and maybe we can chill

I, I

I need a real man

I, I

I need a real man

I, I

I need a real man, yeah
