When I'm feeling lonely, someone telephone me
It's getting hard to pass my time
Take me out of dining, watch me while I'm smiling
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 won't find him creeping up behind him
Fooling round the town all day
Well, I'm underestimated, mildly underrated
Can't there be another way?
I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man to make my dreams blend
I need a man
And then I won't be feeling lonely knowing I'm the only one
Feel, understand
All that I'm feeling deep inside me
Knowing that at last he's gone
Oh well, oh well
Well, I'm getting tired of looking, wasting all my cooking
Ending in a dreadful row
Can somebody tell me, say to me or spell me
Why I'm feeling lonely?
I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man to make my dreams stand
I need a man
And then at night I won't be lonely knowing I'm the only one
Feel, understand
All that I'm feeling deep inside me
Knowing that at last he's gone
Maybe that I'm dreaming and faith that I'm fainting
Somehow I've just got to find
Someone outstanding, long enough to hang in
All that I'm feeling deep inside me
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
I need a man
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Well, I need a man, perhaps a man like you
I need a man to make my dreams stand
I need a man
At night I won't be lonely knowing I'm the only one
Feel, understand
All that I'm feeling deep inside me
Knowing that at last he's gone
I need a man like you to make my dreams come true
I need a man
I need a man like you to make my dreams come true
I need a man
I need a man
Perhaps that man is you
