[Intro]
I want the house (what, yeah)
I want the ice (what, yeah)
I want the dough (yeah, yeah)
Just let it flow (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
I want the Benz (what, yeah, mm)
I want the Jeep (yeah, haha)
I want the minks (mm, yeah)
So what you think? (what, yeah)

[Verse 1]
You say you lookin' for a real man (what, what)
A brotha tryin', doin' all he can (and, so what?)
And so I work all night and day (what, yeah)
But then I gotta listen to you say

[Pre-Chorus]
Boo, we don't ever go nowhere
Don't pay to fix my hair
I need a baller in my world
(Say you need a baller in your world)
If I want someone to pay my bills
I got to keep it real
I'm a high-class kind of girl
(See you wouldn't know a real man baby)

[Chorus]
You won't know a real man
If he stared you in the face
Say you wanna try to keep it real
Girl I know the deal
You won't know a real man

[Verse 2]
You say you're lookin' for a money man (I want the dough)
A bank account full of Benjamins (I want the Benz)
You ain't got a penny to your name (I want the minks)
But still I gotta listen to you say

[Pre-Chorus]
I want a man with lots of cash
[?] and bubble baths
I need a baller in my world
(Say you need a baller in your world)
If I wanna spend some of your ends
And drive your brand new Benz
(You wanna drive my Benz)
I'm a high-class kind of girl
(See you wouldn't know a real man baby)

[Chorus]
You won't know a real man
If he stared you in the face
Say you wanna try to keep it real
Girl I know the deal
You won't know a real man

[Bridge]
I want the house (what, yeah)
I want the ice (what, yeah)
I want the dough (yeah, yeah)
Just let it flow (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
I want the Benz (what, yeah, mm)
I want the Jeep (yeah, haha)
I want the minks (mm, yeah)
So what you think? (what, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Boo, we don't ever go nowhere
Don't pay to fix my hair
I need a baller in my world
(Do you need a baller in your world?)
If I want someone to pay my bills
I got to keep it real
I'm a high class kind of girl
(See you wouldn't know a real man baby)

[Chorus]
You won't know a real man
If he stared you in the face
Say you wanna try to keep it real
Girl I know the deal
You won't know a real man

Keith Sweat

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
