Roof over my head, keep out the rain

Food on the table, I can't complain

When I had no one, you reached out your hand

I want what you give me, but I need a man



We'll not go hungry, we'll never be cold

Long as we have each other to hold

I do without most things, I get by somehow

But I need a man, and I need him now



Nobody special, just the usual kind

Works hard all day and comes home to unwind

I don't care what he looks like if he's just my own

But I know I'll go crazy one more night, more night, one more night alone



Don't need no lectures on what's right for me

Wake up each morning, I know what I see

No one's beside me, can't you understand

From so deep inside me, I need a man



So deep inside me, I need a man
