A Woman, A Lover, A Friend

i want somebody to hold my hand

somebody to love me and understand

i want a woman (woman)

i want a lover (a lover)

i want a friend (a woman, a lover, a friend)

mmm, i want somebody to share my love

yes, loving is something i've got plenty of

i want a woman (woman)

i want a lover (a lover)

i want a friend (a woman, a lover, a friend) ah-ahh

i don't want a fancy gal

with powder and paint

and i don't want a woman

who thinks she's a saint

i'm looking for someone

who's not make-believe

and doesn't mind giving so that she may receive

there must be somebody somewhere around

that's looking for someone to give pound for pound

i want me a woman (woman)

mmm, i want a lover (a lover)

i want a friend (a woman, a lover, a friend)

yeah i want her right now

i want my little girl anyway, i want her anyhow
