like a good man does

Men will never want me I'm just a kid who's real fucked up And it's too late to protect me I think it's time I give it up My hair's been short for three years now Tell myself I like it this way Even though I'll never be The one that makes him say I'll watch over you, sweetheart I'll watch over you, sweetheart Like a man does Like a man does Like a good man does Like a man does He'd put his hands on my back I'd cook his meals at night Cause I just can't see myself Being me past twenty-five I'd be his favorite little scandal My skin unripe with age And even when it makes us sick He'd find the time to say I'll watch over you, sweetheart I'll watch over you, sweetheart Like a man does Like a man does Like a good man does Like a man does I know that what I want's not what I need But I want it so badly I'd bury all my self sufficiency if it meant he could see me He'd kiss me goodnight if he could reach me But instead he'll always leave Like a man does Like a man does Like a good man does Like a man does
