You need a man
Who is not afraid to listen
Any time you cry at night
Because your dreams aren’t coming true.
You need a man
Who knows just what you’ve been missing,
And will try to do his best
To give those things to you.
You need a man
Who will offer you his hand
And try to help you understand
When things don’t go the way you plan.
You need somebody
Who’ll be there when you are lonely.
Darling, why can’t you see?
You need me.
