Marble in a foyer

I′ve been lovin' on you all day

Would′ve stayed if you told me to stayAs you can see I stayed anyway

I'm just not like these other girls, I swear

I just have to love you

I just wanna need you, if that's okay

And you′re just not like these other men out here

Oh no, you just wanna hold me

And that′s okay

Can I be a woman for you, baby

In a time when it's not allowed

How am I supposed to pretend

That I don′t want you, the way I do (Oh yeah)

'Cause every time you′re around me

I feel virgin all over again

And every time you're all around me

How can I renege? Boy I just need your hand

Is it okay that I′m not independent?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay that I show weakness?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay to can't wait to see you?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay to love a man right now?

If you understand

Then show me your hands, (Ooh hoo)

Show me your hands

Boy if you understand

Somebody raised a man (Ooh hoo)

Raised a man

I've never been treated a way I didn′t want to be treated

It′s hard to explain, I know it's hard to believe

I want what′s calming me

Perfection, protection (Please, love)

Bring me all night long, woah

Makin' love to our favourite songs

Your love teaches me how to love, so deep

Baby, it′s so sweet

Can't wait to pass you down

To the face that resembles you and me

Is it okay that I′m not independent?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay that I show weakness?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay to can't wait to see you?

Is it okay that I...

Is it okay to love a man right now?

If you understand

Then show me your hands (Ooh hoo)

Show me your hands

Boy if you understand

Somebody raised a man (Ooh hoo)

Raised a man

Ooh-ho-oh

Ooh-ho-oh

Everyday, and every night I pray for one accord

I adore you even more

And every minute that passes me by

We can't afford for us to be ignored

See we need each other more than we even know (Oh ho)

Somebody made a man

So show me how to raise a man (Ooh hoo)

Raise a man

You can′t be a man

If we don′t raise a man (Ooh hoo)

Raise a man

If you want a man

Then you gotta raise a man (Ooh hoo)

Raise a man

If you understand

Then show me your hands (Ooh hoo)

Show me your hands
