I need you to understand
I need more than just a man
I'm a woman, I'm a human, I have needs
You ignore every request
I make and wonder why I'm such a mess
Is it not that obvious? Why can't you see?

Don't make me go into the night
You know, baby, this isn't right
Don't make me go into the night
Just so I can feel alright

Feel alright
Feel alright

Why can't you just be more real?
Give me something I can feel
You hide behind so many layers of irony
So let me tell you, I must confess
It's still your love over which I obsess
But I feel lately it's just not for me

Don't make me go into the night
You know, baby, this isn't right
Don't make me go into the night
Just so I can feel alright
Feel alright
Feel alright

I need you to understand
I need more than just a man
I'm a woman, I'm a human, I have needs
You ignore every request
I make and wonder why I'm such a mess
Is it not that obvious? Why can't you see?

Don't make me go into the night
You know, baby, this isn't right
Don't make me go into the night
Just so I can feel alright

Feel alright
Feel alright
Feel alright
Feel alright
