lyrics

You think this spotlight makes me look innocent
But it’s the end of the night, and I need a stimulant
Last note’s been sung, I’m about to send home the band
And I need a man.

I’ve made lotsa trouble, and I’ve made a lot of noise
Tired of playing mess-around in the company of boys
It’s getting late, and I just have one demand:
I need a man.

I need a man, someone who knows where to put his hands
Who will waste no time in trying to woo me as a friend
I need a man, a means to a good end
To put a smile on my face again and again

some folks say they're gonna treat you right
They’ll wake you up with breakfast after keeping you warm all night
that’s a pretty picture, but I’m done with making plans
I need a man.

I need a man, someone who doesn’t give a damn
About anything but making me feel good just as I am
I need a man, who will not pretend
That I’d want anything more than those four words intend

So come on baby, while some hours away
I don't need roses - I don't need you to stay
Walk me home, I think you understand
I need a man.
