You Might Need a Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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, mmm

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
