love me like a man

Singer:bonnie raitt

these men that i've been seeing

baby

got their soul up on the shelf

you know they could never love me

when they can't even love themselves

but i need someone to love me

someone to really understand

who won't put himself above me

who just loves me like a man

i've never seen such losers

darlin'

even though i tried

to find a man who could take me home

stead of takin' me for a ride

and i need someone to love me

i know you can

believe me when i tell you

you can love me like a man

they all want me to rock them

like my back ain't got no bone

i want a man to rock me

like my back bone was his own

darlin'

i know you can

believe me when i tell you

you can love me like a man

i come home sad and lonely

feel like i wanna cry

i want a man to hold me

not some fool to ask me why

and i need someone to love me

darlin'

i know you can

don't you put yourself above me

you just love me like a man
