Lyrics

Man, I love him, country man
He's big and he's strong with corns on his hands
He's strong as a hickory tree
And he's the right kinda man for me
Because I need a man
Oh, with a whole lot of energy
When I need him
He's down on the spot
When he holds me
He makes my blood run hot
Ooh-wee
A whole lotta man I've got
I'm right where I wanna be
No big city man for me
Well, I'm right where I wanna be
No big city man with me
Because I need a man
Oh, with a whole lot of energy
Every mornin'
He's right behind the plough
And every evening
He stops to milk the cows
And every night
He loves me
Ooh-wee, ha, he loves me
Well, I've got a man
Oh, with a whole lot of energy
Oh, he can use a plough
Milk a cow
When it come to lovin' he really knows how
He's just the man for me
Sweet as a man can be
Because I need a man
Oh, with a whole lot of energy
I'm right where I wanna be
No big city man for me
I'm right where I want to be
No big city man with me
Oh, 'cause I need a man
Oh, with a whole lot of energy
