Build a Man Intro / Build a Man

There was Lance, he wasn't ready

Oh-so-young, baggage heavy

And there was Chris who laid in Tennessee

But he fucked up and had twins on me

Oh, a little piece, piece of each

That's all I need

A little piece, piece of each

Build him perfect for me

There was Kellz, he adored me

Loved to hear me sing, but controlled me

There was this actor, had a baby

Not the same dude you see in a movie

Is it love? Was he acting?

But I miss him, how did this happen?

So many men gave me a song to sing

But none of them gave me a ring

A little piece, piece of each

That's all I need

If only I could build me a man

Why didn't mother tell me

They would take the best of me

Leave the rest of me in pieces?

Why didn't daddy tell me

That they're only selling dreams?

What they do is what they mean

Oh, if I could give him a heart that

Only beats for me (Just for me)

Oh, give him a set of eyes that

Only look at me

If only I could build me a man

He'd be everything, oh

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

'Cause all the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

I wish it was as simple as a Build-A-Bear assembly

I'd have the necessary parts, he'd be customer friendly

And smoke a little weed

Corporate but still a little street

Oh, if I could give him a heart that

Only beats for me (Just for me)

Oh, I'd give him a set of eyes that

Only look at me

If only I could build me a man

He'd be everything, oh

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

'Cause all the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

I'd build him up just to let me down

I'd give him some shoes so he can just walk out

Upgrade who they were so they can be with her

And I'm here brokenhearted

If only I could build me a man

He'd be everything, oh

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

All the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man

I'd make him perfect for me

La da da da da

If only I could build me, build me

Oh-whoa, mmm

'Cause all the ones I know

They all disappoint

Build me a man

I'll make him perfect for me
