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
