So you say your love has gone and you'll forget him
And you say you're just as happy on your own
But in time you'll find you'll have to love another
Cause a woman wasn't meant to live alone
You'll need a man to hold when nights are cold and lonely
You'll need a hand that's strong when things go wrong to help you find your way
Someone who'll dry your eyes each time you cry, one who'll understand
Yes, in time you'll find you're gonna need a man
You say you're through with love and you can live without it
But as days go by you'll think much more about it
And some lonely night you'll want a man beside you
So I'll wait till then and then I'll be your man
I'll be your man to hold when nights are cold and lonely
You'll need a hand that's strong when things go wrong to help you find your way
Someone who'll dry your eyes each time you cry, one who'll understand
Yes, in time you'll find you're gonna need a man
