A Man Needs a Woman Lyrics by James Carr

The Complete Goldwax Singles

0

When I was the age of three
My dear mother had a little talk with me
She said a woman can be a good little thing
But, son, she mean a whole world to men
If I hadn't loved your daddy this way
He wouldn't be the nig man he is today
[Chorus]
Don't you know
A man needs a woman
A man got to have a woman
To carry on (to carry on)
To carry on
Just like the fish needs the ocean
Just like rough hand need a little lotion
Like the windows needs pane
Like the highway needs two lane
[Chorus]
Don't you know
A man needs a woman
A man got to have a woman
To carry on (to carry on)
To carry on
Just like a vampire needs blood
Like a dead dog need them bugs
Just like the darkness needs the light
Just like the fisherman, he needs
He needs a little bite now, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Don't you know
A man needs a woman
A man got to have a woman
To carry on (to carry on)
To carry on
Just like a boxer need gloves
Just like me, I need a little love
Like the soldier needs a gun...
