A Man Like Me
[Verse 1]
I’m just looking for a man like me
I’m just looking for a man like me
Just looking, honestly
I’m just looking for a man like me
But a monster moved up from under my bed
A monster moved up and jumped right in
How do you honor love with lies? The monster is you
[Verse 2]
I’m just looking for a man like me
I’m just looking for a man like me
Speak unto me all the spiteful facts
Spit in my face, not behind my back
I’d rather cut you with a million truths
Than feed you lies that charm and soothe
[Chorus]
And when I die I’m gonna die nailed to the truth
How do you honor love with lies? The monster is you
And when I go at least you’ll know you really knew me
And I lived on the edge with a quickness
Beautifully
[Verse 3]
I’m just looking for a man like me
I’m just looking for a man like me
A man like me -- match him stroke for stroke
But I turn a corner and I nearly choke
Cause it’s you again, “So good to see you”
So far, so good, so far, so good, so far
