I do, I do, I do need a man To love me as long and as hard as he can It's the way it's been since the world began And today it's just as true And I do, I do, I promise you To never overlook the things you do I'm not afraid to say it, not ashamed to admit I need a real manly man like you
I real man is up before sunrise Working hard, taking care of his own He fixes the car and then mows the lawn Repairs things around the home
He's tough as nails and tender Cologne and a flannel shirt Prince Charming and Grizzly Adams Not afraid of a little dirt
(chorus)
Now I hear people say A strong woman shouldn't need a man But ever since the beginning This was always part of God's plan
So I'll appreciate the gift he is And make him a cup of hot tea When he comes in from out in the cold And puts his freezing hands on me
