The lyrics of the song beautifully express the longing for a love that mirrors the respect and tenderness shown by her father 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.”
As Cara sang, the sincerity of her emotions was palpable, moving both the judges and the audience. The lyrics tell the story of a girl who has been inspired by witnessing her father’s love and respect for her mother, showcasing an ideal of love that she hopes to find for herself.
