Raise a Man Alicia Keys

[Verse 1]
Marble in a foyer
I've been lovin' on you all day
Would've stayed if you told me to stay
As you can see, I stayed anyway
I'm just not like these other girls, I swear
I just have to love you
I just wanna need you if that's okay
And you're just not like these other men out here
No, no
You just wanna hold me, and that's okay
Can I be a woman for you, baby
In a time when it's not allowed?
How am I supposed to pretend
That I don't want you the way I do? (Oh, yeah)
'Cause every time you're around me
I feel virgin all over again
And every time you're all around me
How can I renege? Boy, I just need your hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it okay that I'm not independent?
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay that I show weakness?
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay that I can't wait to see you?
Is it okay that I...
Is it okay to love a man right now?
