 Horns Arranged by Jimmy Pankow

 There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
 Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there

 All alone, nothin' seemed to matter
 So alone, doesn't get much better
 Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
 For the very first time

 There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
 Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere

 All alone, suddenly you see her
 So alone, you know y
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
 For the very first time

 Chorus:
 Then along comes a woman
 There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
 Then along comes a woman
 And you know that it's right

 There was a time when you needed someone to count on
 You needed someone to count on, somebody to care

 Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
 She's so near, everything is better
 Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
 For the very first time

 Chorus
