I want a man
Who'll bring me water to quench my thirst
Who'll bring me water to water the flowers that grow from my head
Who'll bring me water to cool down my fireI want a man
Who'll bring me purple flowers.
Who'll bring me purple flowers to show the softness of his touch
Who'll bring me purple flowers to show our growth
Who'll bring me purple flowers show how tragic but romantic our love isI want a man
Who'll shy the idea of death.
Who'll shy the idea by never leaving my side
Who'll shy the idea by keeping his love consistent
Who'll shy the idea by never breaking meI want a man
Who'll write me poetry.
Who'll expose his emotions on a piece of paper
Who'll have words that have tags of his soul
Who'll give verses that'll be printed in my mind foreverI want a man.
