I need a man who will stand by me,
Not one who only looks out for himself,
I want more than someone who keeps,
My heart up on some dusty shelf.

I deserve someone who wont run away,
I need a man that i can trust,
How much longer will you keep me here?
Im alone and gathering rust.

I don't like being taken for granted,
I wish you wouldnt have cast me aside,
Sometimes it feels as if I was,
The only one who ever tried.

I did everything you asked me to,
but I guess it wasnt enough,
I need a man who is willing to fight.
You gave up as soon as things got rough.

Will you ever appreciate me?
Im tired of crying every night,
I love you but it hurts to hold on,
I need a man who will treat me right.
