I just want to tell you baby
If I can I need my W-O-M-A-N
A M-A-N needs a W-O for love or
Dirty boogie or the do-se do
And the F-E-M-A-L-E can turn a
B-O-Y into a M-A-N
Well I can take a failure I can take a flop
I've survived at the bottom
Better than the top
I take it day by day and I can do
Alright if my W-O-M-A-N is in at night
I'm not talking good or bad or lust or sin
Oh I'm just talking W-O-M-A-N
I can get along without a dog or a cat
And luxury is not where happiness is at
I can do without tobacco coffee or tea
And I turn down lots of money
Making deal offered to me
I can make it through the hills
Without a jeep or a van
But I've got to have my W-O-M-A-N
I need you, woman, W-O-M-A-N, man, man
I need you and I'll keep you
Just as long as I can
Because you are my W-O-M-A-N
