See it's a damn shame
You got caught up in the game
So much to offer
But so little to give
Now ya runnin' around
Tryin' to get down
With every trick in town
Tell me why you had me
Waitin by the phone all alone
[Hook:]
Oh I need a man
That wants all of me
'Cause I need to give someone
All of me
I don't wanna have
To ask where you were
When I needed you
Now I've tried and tried
To make you realize
That here's where you wanna be
But you didn't wanna listen to me
Yeah
Now I got somebody new
Who does all the things
That you didn't do
Could have been you
Baby, baby
Could have been you
[Hook:]
Oh I need a man
That wants all of me
'Cause I need to give someone
All of me
I don't wanna have
To ask where you were
When I needed you
[Bridge:]
I need someone
To take the pain away
Change the rain and the cloudy days
I hoped and prayed that person
Would be you
But baby when it's all said and done
I'm gonna be the only one
To take care of me
So look out for Blu
[Hook:]
Oh I need a man
That wants all of me
'Cause I need to give someone
All of me
I don't wanna have
To ask where you were
When I needed you
