the single girl all alone in a great big town

the single girl gets so tired of love lettin' her down

the life's unreal and the people are homely

and the nights can get so lonely

the single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on



i'm a single girl wond'rin' if love could be passin' me by

i'm a single girl and i know all about men and their lies

nobody loves me 'cause nobody knows me

nobody takes the time to go slowly

the single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on



i gotta make my own way, there's rent i gotta pay

i need a night-time love to get me through the day



i'm a single girl all alone in a great big town

i'm a single girl and i get so tired of love lettin' me down

but there's a man i've yet to know

waiting somewhere i've yet to go

someday i'll have a sweet loving man to lean on

the single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on

the single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on .
