When I'm feelin' lonely
Someone telephone me
It's gettin' hard to pass my time

Take me out'a 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 will find him
Creeping up behind him
Ruling 'round the town all day

Well, I'm underestimated
Hardly underrated
Can't 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 feeling lonely
Knowing I'm the only one

He'll understand
All that I'm feeling deep inside me
Knowing that at last he's come

Oh well, Oh well
Well, getting tired of looking
Wastin' all my cooking
Ending in a dreadful row

Can somebody tell me?
Say to me or spell me
Why I'm feeling lonely, wow! ow

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
All that I'm feeling, deep inside me
Knowing that at last he's come
Maybe that I'm dreaming
Can't say that I've seen him
Somehow, I've just got to find

Someone understanding
Long enough to hand him
All that I've built up inside, the man!

I need a man
(I need a man like you)
(To make my dreams come true)
(I need a man like you)
(To make my dreams come true)
(I need a man like you)
(To make my dreams come true)

I need a man
Perhaps that man is you!
