Yeah
Yeah, she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door, who holds her hand 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 says 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
Heart like a truck, that's why he's always on the road
Providing everything you need to live the life you say you want
Can't have a man who wears his heart on a sleeve
That won't rip once in a while at the seams
Especially if you never take the time to look into his eyes
And hear him when he silently screams
Yeah, she says she wants a real man
One who opens up the door, who holds her hand 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 says she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man
That Disney movie that she wanted was a dream and not reality or something that she got
She put that man up on a pedestal, discards him when she found out he was human, then he dropped
He's not perfect, but oh, he tries
To live up to her beautiful lie
But as time goes by, he'll realize
The man he once knew on the inside of him died
Yeah, she says she wants a real man (real man)
One who opens up the door, who holds her hand and still smiles when he feels bad (feels bad)
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad (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 says she wants a real man (yeah, she says she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for real, man
Love is patient, love is kind
Can't 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 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
Trying to 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 says she wants a real man (real man)
One who opens up the door, who holds her hand and still smiles when he feels bad (she's npt ready for it)
In control of his emotions, wears his heart on his sleeve but don't get mad (that's impossible)
One who gives her all his time, puts his dreams to the side and gets a real bag (gets a real bag)
Yeah, she says she wants a real man (yeah, she says she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for real, man
