The song’s lyrics beautifully capture the desire for a love that mirrors the kindness and respect her father shows to her mother:
«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 18 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.»
