A real man, strong but tender,
Baby that's the kind a man I need
To his love I will surrender
'Cause he'll keep his mind on pleasing me
He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
Sure 'nuff
He's got the stuff,
He's the right kind a lover for me.
An interesting conversation
Every once in a while
Always prompt and attentive
'Cause my darlin' knows that that is my style
He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
Sure 'nuff
He's got the stuff,
He's the right kind a lover for me.
Ev'ry night when I get down on my knees to pray
I thank the lord for sending mister right my way.
This kind of love had to come from heaven down,
I ain't never gonna let him go because
I need this kind a man around
He's the right kind a lover,
I'll never need another,
Sure 'nuff
He's got the stuff,
He's the right kind a lover for me.
