Lyrics Raise a Man - Alicia Keys
Marble
in
a
foyer
I've
been
loving
on
you
all
day
Would've
stayed
if
you
told
me
to
stay
As
you
can
see
it
I
stayed
anyway
I'm
just
not
like
these
other
girls,
I
swear
I
just
have
to
love
you
I
just
wanna
need
you
if
that's
okay
And
you're
just
not
like
these
other
men
out
here
Oh
no,
you
just
wanna
hold
me
and
that's
okay
Can
I
be
a
woman
for
you
babe
In
a
time
when
it's
not
allowed
How
am
I
supposed
to
pretend
That
I
don't
want
you
the
way
I
do,
oh
yeah
So
everytime
you're
around
me
I
feel
virgin
all
over
again
And
everytime
you're
a-around
me
How
can
I
[?]
Boy
I
just
need
your
hand
Is
it
okay
that
I'm
not
independent
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
that
I
show
weakness
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
to
can't
wait
to
see
you
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
to
love
a
man
right
now
If
you
understand
Then
show
me
your
hands
ooh
hoo
Show
me
your
hands
Boy
if
you
understand
Somebody
raised
a
man
ooh
hoo
Raised
a
man
I've
never
been
treated
the
way
I
didn't
want
to
be
treated
It's
hard
to
explain,
I
know
it's
hard
to
believe
I
want
what's
coming
at
me
Perfection,
protection
(please,
love)
Bring
me
all
night
long
Making
love
to
our
favourite
songs
Your
love
teaches
me
how
To
love
so
deep
Baby
it's
so
sweet
I
can't
wait
to
pass
you
down
To
the
face
that
resembles
you
and
me
Is
it
okay
that
I'm
not
independent
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
that
I
show
weakness
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
to
can't
wait
to
see
you
Is
it
okay
that
I...
Is
it
okay
to
love
a
man
right
now
If
you
understand
Then
show
me
your
hands
ooh
hoo
Show
me
your
hands
Boy
if
you
understand
Somebody
raised
a
man
ooh
hoo
Raised
a
man
Everyday,
and
every
night
I
pray
for
one
accord
I
adore
you
even
more
And
every
minute
that
passes
me
by
We
can't
afford
For
us
to
be
ignored
See
we
need
each
other
More
than
we
even
know
oh
ho
Somebody
made
a
man
So
show
me
how
to
raise
a
man
ooh
hoo
Raise
a
man
You
can't
be
a
man
If
we
don't
raise
a
man
ooh
hoo
Raise
a
man
If
you
want
a
man
Then
you
gotta
raise
a
man
ooh
hoo
Raise
a
man
If
you
understand
Then
show
me
your
hands
ooh
hoo
Show
me
your
hands
