The men that I've been seeing

well they got their soul up on a shelf

you know they could never love me

cuz 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

even though I tried

Find a mind to take me home instead of

taking me 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 them

like my back ain't got no bone

I want a man whose gonna rock me

like my backbone was his own

baby, I want to 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
