like my father

I wanna come home to roses
And dirty little notes on Post-its
And when my hair
starts turning gray
He'll say I'm like a fine wine
better with age
I guess I learned it
from my parents
That true love starts
with friendship
A kiss on the forehead
a date night
Faking apology after a fight
I need a man
who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car
and holds the door
I wanna slow dance
in the living room like
We're eighteen
at senior prom and grow
Old with someone
who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
I want a road trip in the summers
I wanna make fun of each other
I wanna rock out to Billy Joel
And flip our kids off
when they call us old
He'll accidentally burn our dinner
And let me be the scrabble winner
And when my body changes shapes
He'll say Oh my God
you look hot today
I need a man
who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car
and holds the door
I wanna slow dance
in the living room like
We're eighteen
at senior prom and grow
Old with someone
who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
And if he lives up to my father
Maybe he could teach our daughter
What it takes to love a queen
She should know she's royalty
I need a man
who's patient and kind
Gets out of the car
and holds the door
I wanna slow dance
in the living room like
We're eighteen
at senior prom and grow
Old with someone
who makes me feel young
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom
