[Verse 1]
When I came home from work, he said
"Tell me where does it hurt" and he began
To rub me from my head down to my heels
And he hooked me up with a three course meal
Ran a bubble bath with a bottle of Tris
Got me open, now yours, I'm feeling this
He brought me out and took me to the bed
And said he'd rather be with me instead

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ecstasy is takin' me on) takin' it on
(Just with me, was turnin' me on) turnin' me on
Just when we we're 'bout to make love
I woke up, I woke up

[Chorus]
Why can't I have a man like that?
Baby, tell me, why can't you be a man like that?
Don't you think that I deserve me a man like that?
Baby, if you don't then leave
So that I can find me a man like that

[Verse 2]
I can't wait to go to sleep
Maybe later tonight he'll visit me
Baby, you can't say I'd be cheating on you
'Cause in my dreams he looks just like you
But he's different
He shows me that he cares about me
And he tells me that he loves me
And that's more than I get from you in reality
[Chorus]
(Why can't I have a man like that?)
Why can't I have a man like that?
(Baby, tell me, why can't you be a man like that?)
You can't be a man like that
(If you think that I deserve me a man like that)
I deserve a man like that
(Baby, if you don't then leave
So that I can find me a man like that)

[Bridge]
Hold me, and touch me, and love me, caress me
Undress me, bring out the best in me
Tell me, can you handle that
Or do I have to find me a man, a man like that?

[Outro]
(Why can't I have a man like that?
Baby, tell me, why can't you be a man like that?)
You can't be a man like that
(If you think that I deserve me a man like that)
Can I find somebody...
(Baby, if you don't then leave)
So that I can find me a man like that
(Why can't I have a man like that?)
A man like that, a man like that
A brother, father, a friend like that
(Baby, tell me, why can't you be a man like that?)
A man like that, a man like that, whoa, whoa
(Don't you think that I deserve me a man like that?)
Can I find somebody...
(Baby, if you don't then leave)
So that I can find me a man like that
(Why can't I have a man like that?) a man like that
(Baby, tell me, why can't you be a man like that?)
I just wanna be open, oh...
(Don't you think that I deserve me a man like that?
Baby, if you don't) then leave
So that I can find me a man like that
A man like that, a man like that
A brother, a lover, a friend like that
A friend like that...
