A Real Man
Yeah, yo
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
Uh, one who opens up the door, hold her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man
Realest story ever told
Can't have a man who's makin' money always home
Heart like a truck, that's why he's always on the road
Providin' everything you need to live the life you say you want
Can't have a man who wears his heart on a sleeve
That won't rip once a while at the seams
Especially if you never take the time to look into his eyes
And hear him when he silently scream
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
One who opens up the door, hold her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man
That Disney movie that she wanted was a dream
And not reality or somethin' that she got
She put that man up on a pedestal
Discards him when she found out he was human then he dropped
He's not perfect, but oh he tries to live up to her, her beautiful life
But as time goes by, he'll realize the man he once knew on the inside him died
Yeah, she said she wants a real man (real man)
One who opens up the door, hold her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad (feels bad)
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad (get mad)
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag (gets a real bag)
Yeah, she said she wants a real man (she said she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for real, man
Love is patient, love is kind, can be evil and also blind
God made man, then said in life
He'll find good things when he finds his wife
So as a real man, broken and confused
Strugglin', not knowin' what to do
He dove to the bottom of the bottle, drowned in his sorrows
And prayed one day she would rescue
By stop pointin' out all his mistakes, be the place he felt safe
To express the emotions, the world said he can't
He's the rock that she needs, but she hammers away
At the love that he has like she wants it to break
Despite all of the pain, twisted and changed
Tryna become the whole picture she paints
'Til she woke up one day, said she's walkin' away
Looked him dead in the face and then screamed
That she says she wants a real man (real man)
One who opens up the door, holds her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad (she's not ready for him)
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad (that's impossible)
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag (gets a real bag)
Yeah, she says she wants a real man (she says she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for real, man
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
Uh, one who opens up the door, hold her hand
And still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man
