You left him standing in the pouring rain There's every chance he'll go insane And someone comes along and takes his hand He must have love, can't you understand That he needs his woman He needs his woman And he needs his woman He needs his woman to love His hands are shaking and his head hangs down No peace of mind for him is found Break his heart and then you'll set him free Someone must save him, just you wait and see But he needs his woman He needs his woman And he needs his woman He needs his woman to love What will it take 'till you believe his love is real? Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will He'll walk that lonely road again today The love he gave you, you threw away When all he wanted was a hand to hold His lonely world has grown so cold And he needs his woman He needs his woman And he needs his woman He needs his woman to love That he needs his woman He needs his woman And he needs his woman He needs his woman to love

A woman was made to be loved Yes, a woman needs love And just because you bought her a brand new car And you got her living in a mansion like a movie star But these are not the only things That a woman is thinking of Cause deep in her soul all she needs Is a bit of your love She needs you, she needs you That woman she really needs you And that's why I say She gotta be loved um, um She gotta be loved oh, no She gotta be loved She gotta be loved, loved, loved, loved There are somethings that money just can't buy It won't take away the feeling It makes a woman wanna cry Now you know that sometimes life Oh, it can get mighty rough But when you try to make the one you love happy Boy, it can get awful tough But if you would just say three little words It would surely be enough Cause she needs you, she needs you That woman she really loves you And that is why I say She gotta be loved in the morning She gotta be loved in the evening y'all She gotta be loved in the midnight hour She gotta be loved, loved, loved She gotta be loved, loved, loved, loved oh Oh, yeah and I know um, um She gotta be loved.

As long as he needs me I know where I must be I'll cling on steadfastly As long as he needs me As long as life is long I'll love him, right or wrong And somehow I'll be strong As long as he needs me If you are lonely then you will know When someone needs you, you love them so I won't betray his trust Though people say I must I've got to stay true just As long as he needs me If you are lonely then you will know When someone needs you, you love them so I won't betray his trust Though people say I must I've got to stay true just As long as he needs me
