Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Oh, a little piece, piece of each

That's all I need

A little piece, piece of each

Build him perfect for me

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

A little piece, piece of each

That's all I need

If only I could build me a man

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

'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

[Verse 10]

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

[Verse 11]

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

[Verse 12]

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

[Verse 13]

'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

[Verse 14]

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

[Verse 15]

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

[Verse 16]

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

[Verse 17]

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
