[Contemporary R&B - 86 BPM - Alto Female Vocal] [Verse 1] I don't need a perfect man I need somebody I can understand Say what you mean, don't make me guess Hold me close when I'm a mess I want a man who hears my heart Even when I don't know where to start Tell me your truth, I'll tell you mine No hidden pieces, no wasted time [Pre-Chorus] I don't want a love that looks good I want the kind that feels good When the whole world gets too loud You know how to reach me through the crowd [Chorus] I want a real man One who loves me where I am Tell me what you're feeling Don't be scared to let me in Be the one who listens When I'm talking from within Make me feel like I'm worth fighting for That's the kind of love I'm asking for I want a real man Not a promise that you can't defend If you say you're here, then be here Let your actions make it clear [Verse 2] I know what I bring to love I give my heart, I give enough So if you choose to stand beside me Don't just want me — really see me Know the little things I never say Know when I need you to stay And if we hurt, let's talk it through I don't need perfect, I need true [Pre-Chorus] I don't want somebody playing strong When something's hurting, tell me what's wrong Lay your feelings next to mine We can take our time [Chorus] I want a real man One who loves me where I am Tell me what you're feeling Don't be scared to let me in Be the one who listens When I'm talking from within Make me feel like I'm worth fighting for That's the kind of love I'm asking for I want a real man Not a promise that you can't defend If you say you're here, then be here Let your actions make it clear [Bridge] I don't need somebody just to say my name I need somebody willing to protect what we became When loving me gets difficult Don't disappear, don't turn away Reach for me, talk to me Give me one more reason to stay I wanna feel like your woman Not somebody you keep wondering about Love me with intention And never make me doubt [Breakdown] Talk to me Don't shut me out Stay with me Let's work it out Look at me And let me know If you want me Then let it show [Final Chorus] I want a real man One who loves me where I am Honest with his feelings Strong enough to understand Be the one who listens When my heart needs somewhere to land Make me feel like I'm worth fighting for Not just when it's easy — even more I want a real man Someone steady, someone true I don't need the world from you I just need the real you [Outro] Give me your truth I'll give you mine Give me your heart I'll give you time If you really want this love Don't just say it Show me Show me you're my real man
