(Bob Dylan) 



It's been raining in my mouth all day 

Dripping down to my clothes 

My patience it is wearing thin 

Got a fire inside my nose 

Searching for the truth the way God designed it 

The truth is I might drown before I find it 



Well, I need a woman 

Yes, I do 

Need a woman 

Yes, I do 

Someone who can see me as I am 

Give the kind of love that don't have to be condemned 



And I want you to be that woman 

Every night 

Be that woman 

Treat me right 



I've had my eyes on you, baby 

For about five long years 

You probably don't know me at all 

But I've seen your laughter and I've seen your tears 

Now you don't frighten me 

I ain't no defendant 

And you look like it wouldn't hurt you none 

To have a man of understanding 



Well, I need a woman 

Oh, don't I 

Need a woman 

Bring it home safe at last 



I've seen you standing on the corner 

Seen you sitting down in the park 

Been watching you in the sunshine 

Walking with you in the dark 



And I want you to be that woman 

Treat me right 

Be that woman 

Every night 



Well, if you believe in something long enough 

You just naturally come to think it's true 

There ain't no wall you can't crossover 

Ain't no fire you can't walk through 

Well, believing is all right 

Just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about 

They might put the evil eye on you 

Use their hidden powers to try to turn you out 



Well, I need a woman 

Just to be my queen 

Need a woman 

Black, white, yellow, brown, blue or green 



Riding out with me at midnight 

Like two Spanish desperadoes 

Gazing down upon the futile world 

In her Cadillac Eldorado 

We will penetrate the storm 

In search of truth that has not been tested 

But she better bring along her checkbook 

Just in case we get arrested 



And I want you to be that woman
