[Intro]
Be the man that I need (ah)
Be the man that I need (ah)
Be the man that I need (ah)
Be the man that I need (ah)

[Chorus]
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Can we
Have it sweet?
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Have enough to shake at night
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need

[Verse 1]
Oh, darling
You're so fine
I've got something on my mind
It's been a long time
Will you be my valentine?
Please, baby, just wait
I need you for longer, wait
You're a chocolate-covered treat
Kiss and now massage my feet

[Chorus]
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Can we
Have it sweet?
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Have enough to shake at night
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need

[Verse 2]
Oh, darling
Let's take a ride
Can you show me the sunrise?
I will close my eyes
To make me feel like springtime, honey
Take me to your room
To the whereabout I need
But I'm done with more milk, babe
Tell me I'm the one that lasts

[Chorus]
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Can we
Have it sweet?
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Have enough to shake at night
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need

[Bridge]
Baby, make my body higher
Sugar, make my body weak
Honey, make me have one that makes me cry
Make my body scream

[Ad-Lib Break]
Ooh, ooh
Ho-oh oh yeah
Come on, baby
Baby, make it
Ah
Hey, oh babe

[Chorus]
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Can we
Have it sweet?
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Have enough to shake at night
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need

[Break]
Come on, baby
Be with me
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Come on, babe
Be the man that I need

[Chorus]
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
Come on, honey
Make it sweet
Can we
Have it sweet?
Come on, sugar
Love me right
Have enough to shake at night
Come on, babe
Be the man
Be the man that I need
