The Man I Love Lyrics

All that's real to me
Is Marilyn and Jesus
Jumping off of bridges
Sparklers and streamers

Honey, I want to fly
I want to fly, I want to fly

All that's real to me
Is Halloween and Jesus
Coney Island beaches
Chandeliers and seizures

Honey, I want to fly
I want to fly, I want to fly

I can't be with the man I love
I can't be if he treats me rough
I can't see him, I can't call him up

All that's real to me
Is trailer parks and beaches
Alabama freezes
Platinum impeaches

Honey, I want to fly
I want to fly, I want to fly

All that's real to me
Is Halloween and Jesus
Coney Island beaches
Chandeliers and seizures

Honey, I want to fly
I want to fly, I want to fly

I can't be with the man I love
I can't be if he treats me rough
I can't see him, I can't call him up

All that's real to me
Is Marilyn and Jesus
Jumping off of bridges
Sparklers and streamers

I can't be with the man I love
I can't be if he treats me rough
I can't see him, I can't call him up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I cannot believe this song is so underrated, It's one of my favorites. Ok I'll admit is not that well put together she just sings about things that gotta do with her, I find some things that remind me of "Body Electric" and in this song i guess she just wants to fly but I don't know is she's talking about escaping her "trailer park" life or just reality (drugs). I guess just reality.
