Build a Man Intro / Build a Man Lyrics by K. Michelle

Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?

2014

[Part I: Build a Man Intro]
[Verse 1]
There was Lance, he wasn't ready
Oh so young, baggage heavy
And there was Chris, laid in Tennessee
But he fucked up and had twins on me (oh)
[Chorus]
A little piece, piece of each that's all I need
Little piece, piece of each
Build him perfect for me
[Verse 2]
There was Kells, he adored me
Loved to hear me sing but controlled me
There was this actor, had a baby
Not the same dude you see in a movie
Is it love, was he acting?
But I miss him, how did this happen?
So many men gave me a song to sing
But none of them gave me a ring
[Chorus]
A little piece, piece of each
That's all I need
If only I could build me a man
[Part II: Build a Man]
[Verse 1]
Why didn't Mother tell me (Tell me)
They would take the best of me
Leave the rest of me in pieces?
Why didn't Daddy tell me (Tell me)
That they're only selling dreams
What they do is what they mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, if I could give him a heart that
Only beats for me (Just for me)
Oh, give him a set of eyes that only look at me
[Chorus]
If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
[Verse 2]
I wish it was as simple as a Build-a-Bear assembly
I'd have the necessary parts
He'd be customer-friendly
And smoke a little weed
Corporate, but still a little street
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh oh, if I could give him a heart that
Only beats for me (Just for me)
Oh, I’d give him a set of eyes that only look at me
[Chorus]
If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
[Bridge]
I build them up just to let me down
I give 'em some shoes so they can just walk out
Upgrade who they were so they can be with her
And I'm here broken-hearted
[Chorus]
If only I could build me a man
He'd be everything, oh
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
All the ones I know
They all disappoint
And do whatever they want
If only I could build me a man
I'd make him perfect for me
[Outro]
Da, da, da, da, da
If only I could build him, build him, oh
'Cause all the ones I know
They all disappoint
Build me a man
I'll make him perfect for me
