Roof over my head, keep out the rain Food on the table, i can't complain When i had no one, you reached out your hand I want what you give me, but i need a man We'll not go hungry, we'll never be cold Long as we have each other to hold I do without most things, i get by somehow But i need a man, and i need him now Nobody special, just the usual kind Works hard all day and comes home to unwind I don't care what he looks like if he's just my own But i know i'll go crazy one more night, more night, one more night alone Don't need no lectures on what's right for me Wake up each morning, i know what i see No one's beside me, can't you understand From so deep inside me, i need a man So deep inside me, i need a man (repeat six times to fade)
