Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These men that I've been seein', baby
Got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
[Verse 2]
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me
Who just loves me like a man
[Verse 3]
I never seen such losers, darlin'
Even though I tried to find a man who could take me home
'Stead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe when I tell you
You could love me like a man
[Verse 4]
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me like my
Backbone was his own
[Verse 5]
And darling, I know you can
Believe when I tell you
You could love me like a man
[Verse 6]
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me, not some fool to ask me why
And I need someone to love me
And darling, I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me
Like a man
