raise a man
Singer:alicia keys
i've been loving on you all day
would've stayed if you told me to stay
as you can see it i stayed anyway
i'm just not like these other girls
i just wanna need you if that's okay
and you're just not like these other men out here
you just wanna hold me and that's okay
can i be a woman for you babe
in a time when it's not allowed
how am i supposed to pretend
that i don't want you the way i do
so everytime you're around me
i feel virgin all over again
and everytime you're a-around me
boy i just need your hand
is it okay that i'm not independent
is it okay that i. is it okay that i show weakness
is it okay that i. is it okay to can't wait to see you
is it okay that i. is it okay to love a man right now
then show me your hands ooh hoo
somebody raised a man ooh hoo
i've never been treated the way i didn't want to be treated
i know it's hard to believe
i want what's coming at me
making love to our favourite songs
i can't wait to pass you down
to the face that resembles you and me
is it okay that i'm not independent
is it okay that i. is it okay that i show weakness
is it okay that i. is it okay to can't wait to see you
is it okay that i. is it okay to love a man right now
then show me your hands ooh hoo
somebody raised a man ooh hoo
and every minute that passes me by
more than we even know oh ho
so show me how to raise a man ooh hoo
if we don't raise a man ooh hoo
then you gotta raise a man ooh hoo
then show me your hands ooh hoo
