I just want to tell you baby,
if I can I need my W-O-M-A-N
A M-A-N needs a W-O for
love or dirty boogie or the do-se-do
Chorus:
And the F-E-M-A-L-E can turn
a B-O-Y into a M-A-N
Well I can take a failure I can take a flop
I've survived at the bottom better than the top
I take it day by day and
I can do alright if my W-O-M-A-N is in at night
Chorus:
I'm not talking good or bad or
lust or sin, oh I'm just talking W-O-M-A-N
I can get along without a dog or a cat
and luxury is not where happiness is at
I can do without tobacco coffee or tea
And I turn down lots of money making
deal offered to me
Chorus:
I can make it through the hills
without a jeep or a van
But I've got to have my W-O-M-A-N
I need you, woman, W-O-M-A-N, man, man
I need you and I'll keep you just
as long as I can, because you are my W-O-M-A-N
