K. Michelle - Build a Man lyrics

Why didn't Mother tell me (Tell me)
They would take the best of me
Leave the rest of me in pieces?
Why didn't Daddy tell me (Tell me)
That they're only selling dreams
What they do is what they mean?

Oh, if I could give him a heart that
Only beats for me (Just for me)
Oh, give him a set of eyes
That only look at me

If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me

I wish it was as simple
As a Build-a-Bear assembly
I'd have the necessary parts
He'd be customer-friendly
And smoke a little weed
Corporate, but still a little street

Oh oh, if I could give him a heart that
Only beats for me (Just for me)
Oh, I’d give him a set of
Eyes that only look at me

If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me

I build them up just to let me down
I give 'em some shoes so
They can just walk out
Upgrade who they were so they can be with her
And I'm here broken hearted

If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
All the ones I know they all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me

Da, da, da, da, da
If only I could build him, build him, oh
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint build me a man
I'll make him perfect for me
