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
big man he is today
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
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
just like a boxer need gloves
just like me i need a little love
like the soldier needs a gun
