Alicia Keys - Raise A Man Lyrics
Marble in a foyer
I've been loving on you all day
Would've stayed if you told me to stay
As you can see it I stayed anyway
I'm just not like these other girls, I swear
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 everytime you're around me
I feel virgin all over again
And everytime you're a-around me
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 the way I didn't want to be treated
It's hard to explain, I know it's hard to believe
I want what's coming at me
Perfection, protection (please, love)
Bring me all night long
Making love to our favourite songs
Your love teaches me how
To love so deep
Baby it's so sweet
I 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
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

Raise a man by taking him to the nail saloon and paint his nails in rainbow. This world is so confusing. I reject confusion in Jesus Name.

Alicia Keys is one of the only artists that if you played a song without knowing her or her music, you would think it came from a whole other decade. I appreciate that.

Raise a man Lyrics (cutted)
[Verse 1]
Marble in a foyer
I've been lovin' on you all day
Would've stayed if you told me to stay
As you can see, I stayed anyway
I'm just not like these other girls, I swear
I just want to love you
I just wanna need you if that's okay
And you're just not like these other men out here
No, no
You just wanna hold me, and that's okay
Can I be a woman for you, baby
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)
'Cause every time you're around me
I feel virgin all over again
And every time you're all around me
How can I renege? Boy, I just need your hand
[Pre-Chorus]
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 that I can't wait to see you?
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to love a man right now?
[Chorus]
If you understand
Then show me your hands (Ooh, ooh)
Show me your hands
Boy, if you understand
Somebody raise a man (Ooh, ooh)
Raise a man
[Verse 2] (not singed)
I've never been treated a way I didn't wanna be treated
It's hard to explain, I know it's hard to believe
I want what's comin' to me
Perfection, protection, please love
With me all night long (Oh)
Makin' love to our favorite song
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 that I can't wait to see you?
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to love a man right now?
[Chorus]
If you understand
Then show me your hands (Ooh, ooh)
Show me your hands
Boy, if you understand
Somebody raise a man (Ooh, ooh)
Raise a man
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Every day 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
Say we need each other more than we know (Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Somebody made a man
To show me how to raise a man (Ooh, ooh)
Raise a man
You can't be a man
If we don't raise a man (Ooh, ooh)
Raise a man
If you want a man
Then you gotta raise a man (Ooh, ooh)
Raise a man
If you understand
Then show me your hands (Ooh, ooh)
Show me your hands
Thanks !
Raise A Man 👶and Amen 💟😊
Only a few people know this but Alicia had facial surgery (and before calling me a liar go verify this :) )
However she's still incredibly beautiful, and I love how she doesn't adapt her style to the "new" wave
This is when you feel the soul in a song
Same Alicia keys like always ❤️ I lover her and her Music😊🥰
Love love love! She’s stunning and the song is beautiful!
Big love! Alicia Keys
We missed you ❤️
