When I was the age of three
My dear mother had a little talk with me
She said: "A woman can be a contrary little thing
But son, she means the whole wide world to men
If I had loved your daddy this way
He wouldn't be the big man that he is today"
Don't you know a man needs a woman?
Oh, a man, got to have a woman
To carry on, to carry on
Just like the fish needs the ocean
Just like a volcano needs a eruption
Like the window needs a pane
Like the highway needs two lane
Don't you know a man needs a woman?
Oh, a man, got to have a woman
To carry on, to carry on
Just like the vampire needs blood
Like a dead dog need them bugs
Just like the darkness needs light
Just like the fisherman, he needs, he needs
A little bite now, oh yeah
Don't you know a man needs a woman?
Oh, a man, got to have a woman
To carry on, to carry on
Just like the vampire needs blood
Like a dead dog need them bugs
Just like the vampire needs blood.
