Backbone

We all know a man can be a delicate thing
 He can be soft and sweet like sugar wrapped in butter
 And I don't mind your company but if you wanna make me sing
 Keep in mind that I am not your mother
 Show me something I can rely on
 Or I would rather be alone
 You give your heart but I wanna see your
 Backbone
 Every time you talk to me there's worry in your eyes
 I wonder what on earth could you be so afraid of
 I ain't gonna hurt you honey, I ain't even half your size
 Step on up and show me what you're made of
 Show me something I can rely on
 Or I would rather be alone
 You give your heart but I wanna see your
 Backbone
 Baby, I know what I'm lookin for
 I don't wanna ask you anymore
 Honey, I've already conquered all I can
 I just wanna be a woman
 All you gotta be's a man
 This is how it's always been, and it is this way still
 It isn't something we need to debate
 You say you're gonna please me, but I don't see how you will
 When you can't even stand up straight
 Show me something I can rely on
 Or I would rather be alone
 You give your heart but I wanna see your
 Backbone
 Show me something I can rely on
 Or I would rather be alone
 You give your heart but I wanna see your
 Backbone
