[Verse 1]
Night is here again, baby
I'm stretched out on my bed
Seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Running through my head

[Chorus]
I need a progressive woman
I need an awfully liberal woman
There ain't no reactionary baby
Can ease my revolutionary mind

[Verse 2]
One hand is on my pillow
One hand is on my head
I see a million nightmares
Tearing around inside my head

[Chorus]
I need a progressive woman
I need an awful liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind

[Verse 3]
If I could only make you see, babe
I ache and pain and bleed
I know you'd come a runnin
If you blistered both your feet
[Chorus]
I need a progressive woman
I need an awful liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind
