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
