Love Me Like a Man

Bonnie Raitt · The Bonnie Raitt Collection [1990]

These men that I've been seeing, baby

Got their soul up on the shelf

You know they could never love me

When they can't even love themselves

But I need someone to love me

Someone to really understand

Who won't put himself above me

Who just loves me like a man



I've never seen such losers, darlin'

Even though I tried to find a man who could take me home

Stead of takin' me for a ride

And I need someone to love me, I know you can

Believe me when I tell you, you can love me like a man



They all want me to rock them

Like my back ain't got no bone

I want a man to rock me like my back bone was his own

Darlin', I know you can

Believe me when I tell you, you can love me like a man



I come home sad and lonely, feel like I wanna cry

I want a man to hold me, not some fool to ask me why

And I need someone to love me, darlin', I know you can

Believe me when I tell you, you can love me like a man

Don't you put yourself above me

You just love me like a man
