Dax - A Real Man Lyrics

Yeah, oh
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
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

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 everything you need to live the life you say you want
Can't have a man who wears his heart on his sleeve
That one ripped 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

Yeah, she said she wants a real man
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

That Disney 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, 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, died

Yeah, she said she wants a real man
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 (gets a real bag)
Yeah, she said she wants a real man
But what she wants is not for real, man

Love is patient, love is kind
Can be evil and also blind
God made man, then said in life
You'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
'Til 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 (real man)
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
