[Intro]

Yeah, yo

[Chorus]

Yeah, she said she wants a real man, uh

One who opens up the door, 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 said she wants a real man

But what she wants is not for real, man

[Verse 1]

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 thе road

Providing everything you need to live thе life you say you want

Can't have a man who wears his heart on his sleeve

That won’t rip once a while at the seams

Especially if you never take the time to look into his eyes

And hear him when he silently screams

[Chorus]

Yeah, she said she wants a real man, uh

One who opens up the door, 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 said she wants a real man

But what she wants is not for real, man

[Verse 2]

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 and he dropped

He's not perfect, but oh, 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 him died

[Chorus]

Yeah, she said she wants a real man (Real man)

One who opens up the door, 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 (Get's a real bag)

Yeah, she said she wants a real man (She said she wants a real man)

But what she wants is not for real, man

[Verse 3]

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

Strugglin', 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

Just tryna become the whole picture she paints

'Til she woke up one day, said she's walking away

Looked him dead in the face and then screamed

[Chorus]

Yeah, she said she wants a real man (Real man)

One who opens up the door, holds her hand and still smiles when he feels bad (She's not ready for him)

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 (Get's a real bag)

Yeah, she said she wants a real man (She said she wants a real man)

But what she wants is not for real, man
