This is pure blues with great word play, written by Chris Smither, but covered hre by Raitt in her own country style. It sums up the feeling of many women about men.
The men that I've been seein', baby
Well they got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
Cause they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me
Who just loves me like a man
I never seen such losers
Don't think I haven't tried
Find a man to take me home
Instead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my back bone was his own
Darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man

The feelings many women have about men are well represented in several phrasings of this song:
I never seen such losers /
Don’t think I haven’t tried
I want a man to hold me /
Not some fool to ask me why
They all want me to rock them /
Like my back ain’t got no bone
There’s a song by the Eurythm...
