《Need a Woman (Studio Outtake - 1981)》歌词

[00:00:07] It's been raining in the trenches all day long, dripping down to my clothes,

[00:00:18] My patience is wearing thin, got a fire inside my nose.

[00:00:23] Searching for the truth the way God designed it,

[00:00:29] The truth is I might drown before I find it.

[00:00:35] Well I need a woman, yes I do

[00:00:42] Need a woman, yes I do.

[00:00:49] Someone who can see me as I am,

[00:00:55] Somebody who just don't give a damn.

[00:01:01] And I want you to be that woman every night,

[00:01:14] Be that woman.

[00:01:20] I've had my eyes on you baby for about five long years,

[00:01:29] You probably don't know me at all, but I have seen your laughter and tears.

[00:01:36] Now you don't frighten me, my heart is jumping

[00:01:40] And you look like it wouldn't hurt you none to have a man who could give ya something.

[00:01:49] Well I need a woman, oh don't I

[00:01:56] Need a woman, bring it home safe at last.

[00:02:03] Seen you turn the corner, seen your bootheels spark,

[00:02:09] Seen you in the daylight, and watched you in the dark.

[00:02:15] And I want you to be that woman, all right

[00:02:28] Be that woman every night.

[00:02:33] Well, if you believe in something long enough you just naturally come to think it's true.

[00:02:45] There ain't no wall you can't cross over, ain't no fire you can't walk through.

[00:03:09] Well, believing is all right, just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about.

[00:03:50] They might put the evil eye on you, use their hidden powers to try to turn you out.

[00:04:24] Well I need a woman, just to be my queen.

[00:04:48] Need a woman, know what I mean?
