| 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 |
