Build a Man Intro / Build a Man |
There was Lance |
He wasn’t ready |
Oh so young, baggage-heavy |
And there was Chris |
Laid in Tennessee |
But he fucked up and had twins on me |
A little piece, piece of each |
That’s all I need |
Little piece, piece of each |
Build him perfect for me |
There was Kellz, |
He adored me |
Loved to hear me sang but control me |
There was this actor, |
Had a baby |
Not the same dude you see in the 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 (tell me) |
They would take the best of me |
Leave the rest of me |
In pieces |
Why didn’t daddy tell me (tell me) |
That they’re only selling dreams |
What they do is what they mean |
If I could give him a heart |
That only beats for me (beats for me) |
Always follow me |
Give him a set of eyes |
That only look at me (only look at me) |
If only I could build me a man |
He’d be everything |
If only I could build me a man |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
'Cause all the ones I know |
They all disappoint and do whatever they want |
If only I could build me a man (a man) |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
I wish it was as simple |
As a build a bear assembly |
I’d have the necessary parts |
He be customer-friendly |
And smoke a little weed (weed) |
Corporate but still a little street |
If I could give him a heart |
That only beats for me (beats for me) |
I give him a set of eyes |
That only look at me (only look at me) |
If only I could build me a man |
He’d be everything |
If only I could build me a man |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
'Cause all the ones I know |
They all disappoint and do whatever they want |
If only I could build me a man (a man) |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
I’d build him up just to let me down |
I’d give him some shoes so they can just walk out |
Upgrade who they were so they can be with her |
And I’m here broken-hearted |
If only I could build me a man |
He’d be everything |
If only I could build me a man |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
All the ones I know |
They all disappoint and do whatever they want |
If only I could build me a man (a man) |
I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me) |
If only I could build him (build him) |
'Cause all the ones I know (know) |
They all disappoint (disappoint) |
Build me a man |
I’ll make him perfect for me |
