The men that I've been seein', baby
Well they got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
'Cause they can't even love themselves
But I want someone to love me
Baby I want one to understand
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
Find a man to take me home
Instead of always for a ride
Baby, I use someone to care
Believe it when I tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man
Oh they want me to rock 'em
Like my back ain't got no bone
Why don't you rock me one time, baby
Like my backbone was your own?
Baby, I wanna wait until you can
Believe it when I tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man
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?
I said "I, I want a lover"
Won't have to work to understand
Don't put yourself above me baby
Love me like a man
