um***The Right Man
Christina Aguilera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many years have gone by
Always strong, tried not to cry
Never felt like I needed any man
To comfort me in life
But I'm all made up today
A veil upon my face
But no father stands beside me
To give this bride away

Well, I'm standing in the chapel
Wearing my white dress
I have waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Here I leave behind my past
By taking the chance
I've finally found the right man

Thoughts racing fast through my mind
As I'm gazing down the aisle
That my future will mend the memories
Torn between father and child

My emotions overload
'Cause there is no hand to hold
There's no shoulder here to lean on
I'm walking all on my own

Here I go

Now I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now, my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking that chance
You've shown me there's a right man
'Cause I never knew the right man

Well, I'm standing in the chapel
Ready to confess
That I've waited for this moment
With tears of happiness
Now I leave behind my past
By taking the chance
Whoa

Well, I'm standing at four corners
To have and to hold
Now, my love, you stand beside me
To walk life's winding road
And I owe it all to you
For taking the chance

And one day, my little girl




Will reach out her hand
She'll know I found the right man

Hey, yeah (do your thing, honey!)
I could feel it from the start
Couldn't stand to be apart
Somethin' 'bout you caught my eye
Somethin' moved me deep inside
I don't know what you did, boy, but you had it
And I've been hooked ever since
I told my mother, my brother
My sister and my friends
I told the others, my lovers both past and present tense
Every time I see you, everything starts making sense (do your thing, honey!)
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class
You got style, you're badass
Ain't no other man, it's true (all right)
Ain't no other man but you
Never thought I'd be alright (no, no, no)
'Til you came and changed my life (yeah, yeah, yeah)
What was cloudy now is clear, yeah yeah (yeah, yeah)
You're the light that I needed
You got what I want boy and I want it
So keep on giving it up
Tell your mother, your brother
Your sister and your friends
And the others, your lovers
Better not be present tense
'Cause I want everyone to know
That you are mine and no one else's
Oh-woah, oh
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class
You got style, you're badass
Ain't no other man, its true
Ain't no other man but you (break it down now!)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other, other
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other
Ain't no other man but you, oh
You are there when I'm a mess
You talked me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy, you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class
You got style, you're badass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
And now I'm tellin' you, so, ain't no other man but you
Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class
You got style, you're badass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you
