Lyrics of 'I Need a Man' by Grace Jones

When I’m feelin’ lonely, someone telephone me
It’s gettin’ hard to pass my time
Take me out of dining, watch me while I’m filing
Baby, it’s a waste of time

I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man, to make my dreams come true

Say that you will find him creeping up behind him
Moving ’round the town all day
Well, I’m underestimated, highly underrated
Can there be another way?

I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man, to make my dreams
And I need a man

And then I won’t be feelin’ lonely, knowing I’m the only one
He’ll understand what I’m feelin’ deep inside me
Knowing that at last he’s gone.

Well, I’m gettin’ tired of looking, wasting all my cooking
Ending in a dreadful row
Can somebody tell me, say to me or sell me,
Why I’m feelin’ lonely, why

I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man, to make my dreams
And I need a man

And then at night I won’t be lonely, knowing I’m the only one
He’ll understand what I’m feelin’ deep inside me
Knowing that at last he’s gone.

It’s maybe that I’m dreaming, can’t say they I’ve seen him
Somehow, I just got to find
Someone outstanding, loving, holding hands here
Oh, I feel love’s inside

I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true
Perhaps that man is you
