I need some food so I can eat
I need my voice so's that I can speak
I need my heart so I can feel
I need my eyes, tell me what is real
Need my feet steady on the ground
Till morning, put nobody down
Give me what you got
I know you've got a lot
And when you're lying lonesome
You need a woman's hand
You got to have a woman

Before you can be a man, yeah
Oh, drowned in sand, ee-yeah
I need my ears so I can hear
Oh, the music that you play
Got to hear that music, yeah
Oh, all night and all day
I wanna hear you drone
Beat it and get on
Give me what you got
I want a lot, yeah
And when you're lying lonesome
In your bed at night
Oh, you need a woman, yeah
To make you feel all right
Oh, before you can be, I said a man
