You Might Need A Man

I knew the day that I would stand by you and all your failings,
Now I'm looking out for me.
If you want to split then I won't tell a soul about you,
Darling just you wait and you'll see.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.

I never thought I'd see the day you'd ever try to leave me,
Now you've packed your bags and you've gone.
All the money in the world won't help you darling,
Take a look and see what you've done.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.

And though the craziness of city life surrounds you darling,
Just because you follow every trend.
Come the day you find yourself alone and feeling restless,
That's the day you're going to need a friend.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.

You might need a man;
Ah let me be your man.
You might need a man like me;
I wanna be that man.
You might need a man like me;
Oh let me be your man.

You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
You might need a man,
I might just be the man you need;
You might need a man like me.
