When I was the age of three

My dear mother had a little talk with me

 She said a woman can be a good little thing

 But, son, she mean a whole world to men

 If I hadn't loved your daddy this way

 He wouldn't be the big man he is today

(CHORUS)

 Don't you know a man needs a woman

 A man got to have a woman

 To carry on (to carry on)

 To carry on

 Just like the fish needs the ocean

 Just like rough hand need a little lotion

 Like the windows needs pane

 Like the highway needs two lane

(CHORUS)

 Just like a vampire needs blood

 Like a dead dog need a little mud

 Just like the darkness needs the light

 Just like the fisherman, he need

 He needs a little bite now, oh, yeah

(CHORUS)

 Just like a boxer needs gloves

 Just like me, I need a little love

 Like the soldier needs the gun

 Like a hamburger needs bun

 I need you, yes I do

 I need you just to see me through

I've got to have you
