Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm feelin' lonely, someone telephone me
It's gettin' hard to pass my time
Take me out a'dying, watch me while I'm fallin'
Baby, it's a waste of time
[Verse 2]
I need a man
Perhaps a man like you
I need a man
To make my dreams come true
[Verse 3]
Say that you will find him, creepin' up behind him
Movin' round the town all day
Well, I'm underestimated, highly underrated
Can't there be another way?
[Verse 4]
I need a man
Perhaps a man like you
I need a man
To make my dreams and
[Verse 5]
I need a man
And then I won't be feelin' lonely
Knowing I'm the only one
He'll understand
All that I'm feelin' deep inside me
Knowin' that at last he's gone
[Verse 6]
(Ooh ooh) Oh well
(Ooh ooh) Oh well
(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
[Verse 7]
Well, I'm gettin' tired of lookin', wasting all my cookin'
Standing a dreadful row
Can't somebody tell me, say to me or spell me
Why I'm feelin' lonely? Why?
[Verse 8]
I need a man
Perhaps a man like you
I need a man
To make my dreams and
[Verse 9]
I need a man
And then at night I won't be lonely
Knowing I'm the only one
Please understand
All that I'm feelin' deep inside me
Knowin' that at last he's gone
[Verse 10]
It's maybe that I'm dreamin'
Can't say that I've seen him
Somehow, I've just got to find
Someone outstanding
Long enough to hand him
All that I've built up inside
[Verse 11]
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
(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)
Perhaps that man is you
