A Real Man

de Dax

Yeah, she said she wants a real man
One who opens up the door
Hold her hands and still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man

Realest story ever told
Can't have a man who's making money always home
Hard like a truck, that's why he's always on the road
Providing еverything you need to live the lifе you say you want
Can't have a man who wears his heart on his sleeve
That one ripped once a while as it seems
Especially when you never take the time to look into his eyes
And hear him when he silently screams

Yeah, she said she wants a real man
One who opens up the door
Hold her hands and still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag (gets a real bag)
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man

The movie that she wanted was a dream
And not reality or something that she got
She put the man up on a pedestal
Discards him when she found out he was human and he dropped
He's not perfect, but he tries to live up to her
Her beautiful life
But as time goes by
You'll realize the man he once knew on the inside died

Love is patient, love is kind
Can be evil and also blind
God made man, then said in life
He'll find good things when he finds his wife
So as a real man, broken and confused
Struggling, not knowing what to do
He dove to the bottom of the bottle, drowned in his sorrows
And prayed one day she would rescue
By stop pointing out at all his mistakes, be the place he felt safe
To express the emotions the world said he can't
He's the rock that she needs but she hammers away
At the love that he has like she wants it to break
Despite all of the pain, twisted and changed
Tryna become the whole picture she paints
Till she woke up one day, said she's walking away
Looked him dead in the face and then screamed

Yeah, she said she wants a real man
One who opens up the door
Hold her hands and still smiles when he feels bad
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad
One who gives her all his time
Puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag
(Gets a real bag)
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man
