Lyrics:
I got a scorecard
A wishlist
The keys to my heart
Are in it
Does he like country music?
If he has a brain, does he use it?
There’s a couple things
That I need

He’s gotta be
Up before the sunrise with me
Settled down with a cup of coffee
A softer side only I get to see
Yeah, he’s gotta be
Strong-willed but listens to me
Keeps me calm, but drives me crazy
A little rough when I need him to be
I ain’t asking for Prince Charming
But there are just some things
He’s gotta be

His hands raised high, 
Deep in worship
If he ain’t got no faith
He ain’t worth it
Does he want kids one day?
Does he have what that takes?
There’s a few things
That I want

He’s gotta be
Up before the sunrise with me
Settled down with a cup of coffee
A softer side only I get to see
Yeah, he’s gotta be
Strong-willed but listens to me
Keeps me calm, but drives me crazy
A little rough when I need him to be
I ain’t asking for Prince Charming
But there are just some things
He’s gotta be

I ain’t asking for much
I'm just praying for real love
Someone who’s

Up before the sunrise with me
Settled down with a cup of coffee
A softer side only I get to see
Yeah, he’s gotta be
Strong-willed but listens to me
Keeps me calm, but drives me crazy
A little rough when I need him to be
I ain’t asking for Prince Charming
But there are just some things
He’s gotta be
