[Verse 1]
Dear God, I want a man
I want him strong, ain't scared to dance
Knows how to work, he's down to Earth
When he gets home, he puts me first

[Chorus]
I don't mean to interfere if it ain't in your plan
But I want a big strong man with gentle hands

[Verse 2]
He drives a truck, he drinks sweet tea
Timberland boots lie on his feet
You have my word I won't complain
If he goes to church, praises your name

[Chorus]
I don't mean to interfere if it ain't in your plan
But I want a big strong man with gentle hands

[Bridge 1]
And if we have a baby
Oh, she'll be a daddy's girl
It's up to him if he does the kind of love she deserves
In this ugly, cruel, cruel cold world
[Verse 3]
Dear God, I want a man
Who loves his ma, clicks with my dad
He'll tell me jokes they're mostly bad
But when I'm mad, he makes me laugh

[Chorus]
I don't mean to interfere if it ain't in your plan
But I want a big strong man with gentle hands

[Bridge 2]
And if we have a baby
Oh, he'll be a daddy's boy
And he'll teach him not to play with women
Like he plays with toys

[Verse 4]
Dear God, there goes my list
That's all I want, you get the gist
I'll pay my toll, slick down my hair
And say a prayer till he gets here

[Chorus]
I don't mean to interfere if it ain't in your plan
But I want a big strong man with gentle hands
[Refrain]
I want a big strong man with gentle hands
I want a big strong man with gentle
Gentle, gentle, gentle hands
(Yeah!)

[Outro]
I just want a brother with some real gentle hands
Who gon' hold me like a rifle when he ask me for this dance
Rhinestone cowboy straight up out the ghetto
Pick me up in Lincoln Continental, leather seats so gentle
(Lincoln Continental, Lincoln) Lincoln Continental
Lincoln-Lincoln-Lincoln-Lincoln (Lincoln, leather seats so gentle)
Doo-do-do-do, doo-do-do-do
Doo-do-do-do, doo-do-do
Doo-do-do-do, doo-do-do-do
Doo-do-do-do, doo-do-do-do
Ahhh, ahhh
Shoo!
