Whoa, I need a man to love me
Don't you understand me, baby?
Whiieeiea, I need a man to love.
I gotta find him,
I have to have him like the air I breathe.
One lovin' man,
To understand,
Can't be too much to need.
You know it can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be this loneliness
Baby that's surrounding me.

No, No, you know it just can't be
There's got to be some kind of answer.
And every where I look,
There's none around
Whoa, it can't be 
Whoa, hear me now

Whoa, won't you let me hold you?
Honey just close your eyes.
Whoa, won't you let me hold you, dear?
I want to just,
Put my arms around ya,
Like the circles going 'round the sun.
Let me hold you daddy,
Atleast until the morning comes.
Because it can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be this loneliness
Baby, that's surrounding me.
No, no, no it just can't be.
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be. no,no,no

And Why can't anyone ever tell me, now?
I wake up one morning, I realize
Whoa, it can't be

Whoa, I need a man to love me
Oh, baby, baby, can you help me please?
Whiieeiea, I need a man to love
But I believe that someday,
And somehow it's bound to came along
Because when all my dreams 
And all my plans just cannot turn out wrong.
You know it can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be now
Can't be this loneliness
Baby,  that's surrounding me

No, no, no, it just can't be
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be
And who could be foolin' me?
I've got all this happiness
Come, come, come on, come on, come on,
Come on and help me now.
Please!
Can't you hear my cry?
