[Verse 1]
Whoa, I need a man to love me
Don't you understand me, baby?
Why, I need a man to love
I got to find him, I got to have him like the air I breathe
One loving man to understand can't be too much to need

[Chorus]
You know it
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be this loneliness
Baby, surrounding me

[Verse 2]
No, no, know it just can't be
No it just can't be
There's got to be some kind of answer
No it just can't be
And everywhere I look, there's none around
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be, oh no!
Whoa, hear me now

Whoa, won't you let me hold you?
Honey, just close your eyes
Whoa, won't you let me hold you, dear?
I want to just put my arms around you, like the circles going around the sun
Let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
And why can't anyone ever tell me, now ?
No it just can't be
I wake up one morning, I realize
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be
Now go!

Whoa, I need a man to love me
Oh, maybe you can help me, please
Why, I need a man to love
But I believe that someday and somehow it's bound to come along
Because when all my dreams and all my plans just cannot turn out wrong

[Chorus][x2]
