I need a woman that loves me for the man I am
Not another whore just looking for a one night stand
I’m so sick of the posers tell me what I got to do
To find something real and then just point me to the who
Where’s the passion that once set me on fire
It’s lost in the void somewhere before I was inspired
Looking at the clock I feel like time is growing short
Looking at the options there’s no choice but to abort
Just give me one reason why she should be the one
She doesn’t even understand the world that I come from
She’s painted this picture of who she thinks I am
Inside that little head where she’ll never understand
I need a woman that wants to have more out of her life
Than just another high as she sits back for the ride
You know I realize that I’m as aimless as the rest
But at least I’m trying in my life to do my best
They don’t feel the words I’ve written in my rhymes
They just pretend after they’ve skimmed over the lines
I’m neither a trophy nor the answers to your prayers
I’m just looking for love and don’t appreciate the stares
Just give me one reason why she should get a shot
She acts like her life is hard but I’m afraid it’s not
The difference between the survivors and the lost
Is the simple appreciation for the great things that you got
I need a woman that can let go of her heart
And follow me on faith to a place that’s worlds apart
She’s got to be strong enough to know just what she wants
She’s got to be beautiful and not just what she flaunts
She’s got to be down to earth and not at all naïve
And she’s got to be totally and madly loving me
Maybe this criteria is just too much to ask
But until the day it’s met then I think I’ll have to pass
Now give me one reason why I should let you in my heart
You seem to take love like an actor plays their part
I’m looking for a fire I don’t see inside your eyes
You’re looking for someone that I’m afraid is not I
