[Verse 1]
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
Fake an apology after a fight
[Chorus]
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 mе like
My father loves my mom
[Verse 2]
I wanna road trip in thе 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"
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And if he lives up to my father
Maybe he can teach our daughter
What it takes to love a queen
She should know she's royalty
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I need a man who loves me like
My father loves my mom

I saw some random notifications on my phone and I just opened it up and it was like over a million views — like crazy chaos. I started screaming and he thought somebody broke into the apartment. It was literally overnight. It was just the craziest thing, but it was definitely the moment that I start...
On the song and its message:
I hope that people connect with it. I never really know because I’m always super close to the music. So it’s hard for me to look on the outside looking in, but I do know that for me they have set an example, and that is the ideal example of what a couple should be.
