Build a Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was Lance, he wasn't ready
So young, baggage heavy
And there was Chris, laid in Tennessee
But he fucked up and had twins on me
A little piece, piece of each
That’s all I need
Little piece, piece of each
Build him her a fan for me
There was Kellz, he adored me
Loved to hear me sing but control me
There was this actor, had a baby
Not the same dude you see in a movie
Is it love, was he acting?
But I missed him how did this happen?
So many men gave me a song to sing but none of them gave me a ring
A little piece, piece of each
That's all I need
If only I could build me a man
Why didn't mother tell me
They would take the best of me
Leave the rest of me in pieces
Why didn't daddy 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
Oh, give him a set of eyes that only look at me
If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything
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
If I could give him a heart that only beats for me
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
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
Da, da, da, da, da, da
If only I could build him, build him
Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
Build me a man
I'll make him perfect for me
