Well I know this guy
We have a real good time
I let him get a little close
Do I like him, yes, do I love him, no
We don't fight and all my friends say we look good together
But try as I might I just don't see me with him forever

I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without

Well I know this other guy
The kind that mamas like
He wears armani suits
He wants to marry me, he's got money to boot
Imagine that I'd have a life that's easy to get used to
Matter of fact, there's a real good reason I don't choose to

I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without

I don't want somebody
Just to have somebody
That's how I am
I'm that kind of girl
Even if it takes all the time in the world

I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without
I want a man that I can't live without

Well I know this guy
We have a real good time
And I know this other guy
He makes me feel real nice
And there's this guy I like
But do I love him, no
'Cause I want a man
I want a man
