K. Michelle - Build A Man Lyrics

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
