I NEED A MAN
(Gene Pistilli / Tom Anthony  1971)

Manhattan Transfer
recorded 1971


Roof over my head, keep out the rain,
Food on the table and I can't complain.
When I had no one, you reached out your hand,
I want what ya give me, but I need a man!

We may go hungry, we'll never be cold,
Long as we have each other to hold.
I'll do without most things, I'll 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, one more night, one more night alone!

Don't need no lectures on what's right for me;
Wake up each mornin', 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!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man!
So deep inside me, I need a man...
