(Instrumental Intro)
The men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
I want someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me
Who can love me like a man
I never seen such losers
Don't think I haven't tried
To find a man to take me home
Instead of always for a ride
Baby, are you someone that can
Believe it when I tell you, darlin'
You can love me like a man
Oh they want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
Why don't you rock me one time, baby
Like my backbone was your own own
Baby, I wanna wait until you can
Believe it when I tell you, darlin'
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
Come over here and hold me, baby
And don't ever ask the reason why
And said I want a lover
Won't have to worry to understand
Don't you put yourself above me
Love me like a man
