(Gene Pistilli and Tom Anthony)
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 [6x]
