Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Intro] Mm Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Yeah
Let me tell you something true
[Verse 1] I've been patient with these lonely nights
Waiting on a love that won't walk away
Every dawn I wake and reach across the sheets
Somebody warm to hold me through the day
[Pre-Chorus] I don't need a part-time lover
I need forever written in his eyes
Somebody steady when the weather turns
A man who stays no matter what he learns
[Chorus] I need a man who won't leave me lonely
I need a man who'll be there when I call
He'll be my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Verse 2] I've kissed a few who promised me the moon
They left me colder than the winter rain
Now I'm done with half a heart and borrowed time
I want the kind of love that can't be tamed
[Pre-Chorus] Somebody honest when it's heavy
Somebody tender when I'm low
A man who knows my body and my mind
The kind of soul that never lets me go
[Chorus] I need a man who won't leave me lonely
I need a man who'll be there when I call
He'll be my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Verse 3] I dream of hands that trace me slow and sure
A mouth that knows exactly where to go
He'll pull me close and read me like a psalm
And every secret only we two know
[Pre-Chorus] So come and find me if you're ready
Come and claim the space beside my frame
I've been saving all this fire just for you
Say my name and nothing stays the same
[Chorus] I need a man who won't leave me lonely
I need a man who'll be there when I call
He'll be my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Bridge] Lay me down and take your time with it
Taste the salt that's rising on my skin
Hold me like you'll never get enough of it
Love me til I'm trembling from within
[Verse 4] There'll never be another in his place
No substitute
[Instrumental Break] [Inspirational Intro] Get up
Get up off that lonely
(Get up)
Been praying for a real one all along
And now he's walking through the door
So I stand up
I stand up
Mm-hmm
Let me tell you how it ends
[Verse 5] I stopped asking heaven for a rescue
Started building me a home inside my chest
Made my peace with all the nights I cried alone
Then he showed up and he put my fears to rest
[Verse 6] He ain't flashy with the diamonds or the cars
But he calls me when the sun goes down to say
Baby eat something put your feet up for a while
I'ma hold this whole world off of you today
[Pre-Chorus] Ain't no half-stepping with him
Ain't no hiding when he looks at me like that
He done seen the worst and stayed regardless
Tell me who does that
[Chorus] He's the man who won't leave me lonely
He's the man who's there when I call
He's my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Verse 7] He be rough around the edges in the streets
But he gentle when he lay me on the sheets
Got a mouth on him that makes me lose my breath
And a loyalty that no one can defeat
[Verse 8] I ain't never had to beg him for his time
Never had to wonder whose bed he was in
He said boy you are the prayer I didn't pray
And I plan on loving you until the end
[Pre-Chorus] So we ride
Through whatever
Side by side
Two of us against the weather
And I know
Yeah I know
This is it
This is forever
[Chorus] He's the man who won't leave me lonely
He's the man who's there when I call
He's my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Bridge] Put your hands on me and don't you be polite
I want it messy I want all of it tonight
Bite my shoulder leave your mark right there on me
Make me say your name until I can't speak
[Bridge] Turn me over show me what that mouth is for
I ain't shy boy I been waiting for this war
Sweat and tangled sheets and heavy breathing in the dark
Come and wreck me come and heal me come and claim my heart
[Verse 9] Now we argue in the kitchen over small things
Then we make up on the counter like it's new
He knows every single button on my body
And I know every scar that he's been through
[Verse 10] He ain't perfect but he's present and he's mine
And that's more than any fantasy I had
Fifteen years of waiting for a man like this
Worth every single tear that made me sad
[Pre-Chorus] So if you're listening and you're lonely too
Don't you settle don't you ever drop your crown
Keep your head up keep your standards in the sky
Your real one's coming he ain't gonna let you down
[Chorus] He's the man who won't leave me lonely
He's the man who's there when I call
He's my Superman my only
My true love standing tall
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh
My true love
Oh-oh
Standing tall
[Outro] I found my Mr right
(I found him)
I found my Mr right
(Yeah I did)
And there'll never be another
(Never another)
That can take his place
Mm
He's my all
Yeah
My one true love
Oh-oh
My one true love
I ain't lonely no more
No more
Mm-hmm
I ain't lonely no more
