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
