A Man Like Me

Baby likes to hold my hand as I make a promise

She looks me in my eye, in my eye

So she know it’s true

Ain’t a thing she values more than a man who's honest

The girl got hurt before, hurt before

By a man like you

I'm going to tell you right here and now

Ain't gonna be like you anyhow

I'm gonna give her what she wants     till what she wants

Is a man like me

She used to hang around with a crowd that put on airs

Talking down their noses; Striking poses

Like they didn't care

Judging everybody but themselves (so they pretended)

but at the bottom of their cold black hearts

They didn't like themselves

I'm going to tell you right here and now

I’m gonna love myself and show her how

I'm gonna give her what she wants     till what she wants

Is a man like me

In a world so full of fiction

All she gots to do is kick that addiction

With a man like me

No I never thought that much of myself - that's a natural fact

The Lord gave me self respect, and then he took it all back

But I found it all again and now I'm primed to act

I'm going to live up to the challenge

Give her everything those other men lack

Gotta tell you right here and now

Ain't gonna be like you anyhow

I'm gonna give her what she wants     till what she wants

Is a man like me

Baby likes to hold my hand as I make a promise

She looks me in my eye, in my eye

So she know it’s true

Ain’t a thing she values more than a man who's honest

The girl got hurt before, ain’t a door

That I wanna walk through

I'm going to tell you right here and now

Ain't gonna be like you anyhow

I'm gonna give her what she wants     till what she wants

Is a man like me

I'm gonna give her what she wants     till what she wants

Is a man like me
