Love Me Like A Man

Diana Krall · The Girl In The Other Room [2004]

The men I've been seeing baby

got their soul up on a shelf

You know they could never love me

when they can't even love themselves.



And I need someone to love me,

someone who really understands.

Who won't put themselves above me,

who'll just love me like a man.



I've never seen such losers,

even though I tried

to find a man who could take me home

instead of taking me for a ride.



And I need someone to love me, darlin I know ya can.

Don't you put yourself above me, you just 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 backbone was his own.



Darlin I know ya can.

Believe me when I tell you,

you can love me like a man.



Came on sad and lonely, feel like I wanna cry

Want a man to hold me, not some fool who asks me why.



And I need someone to love me, baby you can

Don't you put yourself above me, just love me like a man.
