Bonnie Raitt - Love Me Like A Man Lyrics






These men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on the shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me
Who just loves me like a man

I've never seen such losers, darlin'
Even though I tried
To find a man who could take me home
Stead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can 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 back bone was his own
Darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man

I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
And I need someone to love me
Darlin', I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man

    She does a great job covering Chris Smither. Do a search on "Love You Like A Man"

  54. R.... ....

    "“No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved.”
    Mignon McLaughlin

    Damned if I know what Mignon McLaughlin is getting at, or trying to say, and I'm not sure he does either!!! 
     However, In a love relationship, If you have, honesty, communication, and mutual respect from both parties, you should have it covered.  

    Thank You "achatscheibe" for posting this Bonnie Raitt classic.
    Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will
