Build a Man Intro / Build a Man - K. Michelle

There was Lance

He wasn’t ready

Oh 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 perfect for me

There was Kellz,

He adored me

Loved to hear me sang but control me

There was this actor,

Had a baby

Not the same dude you see in the movie

Is it love?

Was he acting?

But I miss 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 (tell me)

They would take the best of me

Leave the rest of me

In pieces

Why didn’t daddy tell me (tell me)

That they’re only selling dreams

What they do is what they mean

If I could give him a heart

That only beats for me (beats for me)

Always follow me

Give him a set of eyes

That only look at me (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’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

'Cause all the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man (a man)

I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

I wish it was as simple

As a build a bear assembly

I’d have the necessary parts

He be customer-friendly

And smoke a little weed (weed)

Corporate but still a little street

If I could give him a heart

That only beats for me (beats for me)

I give him a set of eyes

That only look at me (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’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

'Cause all the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man (a man)

I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

I’d build him up just to let me down

I’d give him 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’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

All the ones I know

They all disappoint and do whatever they want

If only I could build me a man (a man)

I’ll make him perfect (perfect) for me (for me)

If only I could build him (build him)

'Cause all the ones I know (know)

They all disappoint (disappoint)

Build me a man

I’ll make him perfect for me
