I need a man to hold me tight
to ... a friend, to talk the whole night
Someone who fills my heart with joy
I need a man, not a little boy

And I need someone
And I need someone
who knows what I need
but what I don't need is someone like you

Hey, you, uh, you, you, you...

You, who's too dumb to please me
You, who never learned to see what I need, how I feel,
how it's supposed to be, Yeah

I know there's a real man out there
Ah! Don't waste my time, don't care
about you, what you've done and what you are to me
What I really need is a man, hey

I need a man to hold me tight (uh)
to ... a friend, to talk the whole night
Someone who fills my heart with joy
I need a man, not a little boy

And I need someone
And I need someone
who knows what I need
who knows what I need
but what I don't need is someone like

You, who's too dumb to please me
You, who never learned to see what I need, how I feel,
how it's supposed to be, hey!

I know there's a real man out there
Ah! Don't waste my time, don't care
about you, what you've done and what you are to me
What I really need is a man

I'm fed up, why explain? And
I'm fed up about this pain
You don't have to tell me what I should do
Coz it's my life and I will break on through
And if you don't respect that get out of my way!
Boy you ... nothing to say to

Chorus
