Lyrics:

Marble in a foyer
I've been loving on you all day
Would've stayedif you told me to stay
As you can see
I stayed anyway
I'm just not like these other girls, I swear
I just have to love you
I just wanna need you
If that's okay
And you're just not like
These other men out here
Oh no, you just wanna hold me
And that's okay

Can I be a woman for you babe
In a time when it's not allowed
How am I supposed to pretend
That I don't want you
The way I do, oh yeah
So every time you're around me
I feel virgin all over again
And every time you're a-around me
How can I renege
Boy I just need your hand

Is it okay that I'm not independent
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay that I show weakness
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to can't wait to see you
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to love a man right now

If you understand
Then show me your hands, ooh hoo
Show me your hands
Boy if you understand
Somebody raised a man, ooh hoo
Raised a man

I've never been treated a way
I didn't want to be treated
It's hard to explain,
I know it's hard to believe
I want what's calming me
Perfection, protection (please, love)
Bring me all night long, woah
Making love to our favourite songs
Your love teaches me how
To love so deep
Baby it's so sweet
Can't wait to pass you down
To the face that resembles you and me

Is it okay that I'm not independent
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay that I show weakness
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to can't wait to see you
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to love a man right now

If you understand
Then show me your hands ooh hoo
Show me your hands
Boy if you understand
Somebody raised a man ooh hoo
Raised a man

oh ho oh ho
oh ho oh ho

Everyday, and every night
I pray for one accord
I adore you even more
And every minute that passes me by
We can't afford
For us to be ignored
See we need each other
More than we even know oh ho

Somebody made a man
So show me how to raise a man ooh hoo
Raise a man
You can't be a man
If we don't raise a man ooh hoo
Raise a man
If you want a man
Then you gotta raise a man ooh hoo
Raise a man
If you understand
Then show me your hands ooh hoo
Show me your hands
