[Intro]
Well, you can live to almost anything if you have a beautiful woman by your side

[Verse 1]
Well, a man needs a woman right by his side
Yeah, a man needs a woman right by his side
She keeps him warm at night, he keeps her satisfied

[Verse 2]
Well, you can't help nobody until you help yourself
Yeah, you can't help nobody until you help yourself
Ain't nobody gonna help you better than somebody else

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began, oh yeah
Soul of a woman, soul of a man

[Bridge]
Ah, swing it

[Saxophone Solo]

Well, a man needs a woman right by his side
Yeah, a man needs a woman right by his side
She keeps him warm at night, he keeps her satisfied
[Verse 2]
Well, you can't help nobody until you help yourself
Now, you can't help nobody till you help yourself
Ain't nobody gonna help you better than somebody else
Your woman

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began

[Chorus]
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
The perfect combination ever since the world began, oh yeah
Soul of a woman
Soul of a woman, soul of a man
