When I was the age of three<br />
My dear mother had a<br />
Little talk with me<br />
<br />
She said a woman<br />
Can be a good little thing<br />
But, son, she mean a<br />
Whole world to men<br />
<br />
If I hadn't loved<br />
Your daddy this way<br />
He wouldn't be the<br />
Big man he is today<br />
<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
Don't you know<br />
A man needs a woman<br />
A man got to have a woman<br />
To carry on (to carry on)<br />
To carry on<br />
<br />
Just like the fish needs the ocean<br />
Just like rough hand need a little lotion<br />
Like the windows needs pane<br />
Like the highway needs two lane<br />
<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
<br />
Just like a vampire needs blood<br />
Like a dead dog need them bugs<br />
Just like the darkness needs the light<br />
Just like the fisherman, he needs<br />
He needs a little bite now, oh, yeah<br />
<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
<br />
Just like a boxer need gloves<br />
Just like me, I need a little love<br />
Like the soldier needs a gun...</
