Oh, I need a woman to love me

Don't you understand me, baby?

I need a woman to love

I gotta find her, gotta have her like the air that I breathe

One loving girl that'll understand can't be too much to need

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no)

Can't be this loneliness, baby, surrounding me

And I know it just can't be (No, it just can't be)

There's got to be some kind of answer (No, it just can't be)

And everywhere I look,

There's none around (No, it just can't be)

Whoa, it just can't be (No, it just can't be)

Oh, won't you let me hold you?

Honey, just close your eyes

Whoa, won't you let me hold you, dear? Ah, yeah

I wanna just put my arms around you

Like the circles going around the sun

Let me hold you, daddy, at least until the morning comes

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no)

Can't be this loneliness, baby, surrounding me

And I know it just can't be (No, it just can't be)

There's got to be some kind of answer (No, it just can't be)

And everywhere I look,

There's none around (No, it just can't be)

Oh, I realize, oh, I realize (No, it just can't be)

I know it just can't be

Oh, I need a woman to love me

Oh, maybe you could help me, please

Oh, I need a woman to love, 'cause I believe that

Someday and somehow, it's just bound to come along

'Cause all my dreams and all my plans

Just cannot turn out wrong

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no), can't be now (oh no)

Can't be now (oh no)

Can't be this loneliness, baby, surrounding me

And I know it just can't be (No, it just can't be)

There's got to be some kind of answer (No, it just can't be)

And everywhere I look,

There's none around (No, it just can't be)

Whoa, it just can't be (No, it just can't be)

(No, it just can't be, no, it just can't be, no, it just can't be)
