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
