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
