Lately I've been having evil dreams
I wake up in a cold blue lair
I run the tape back in my mind
Wonder if I took a wrong road somewhere
Searching for the truth the way God designed it
Well, the real truth is that I may be afraid to find it
Well, I need a woman
All right
Need a woman
Every night
To be with me and know me as I am
To show me the kind of love that don't have to be condemned
And I want you to
Be that woman
(Every day)
Be that woman
(Every way)
I've had my eyes on you, baby
For five long years
Well, you probably don't know me at all
But I've seen your laughter and I've seen your tears
Telltale heart will show itself to anybody near
There's always some new stranger in the night
To lend a sympathetic ear
Well, I need a woman
To be my own
I need a woman
That's mine alone
Seen you in the doorway
I seen you in the park
Seen you in the sunshine
I seen you in the dark
And I want you to
Be that woman
Oh, no, no
Be that woman
(Every way)
You keep listening to something long enough
You're just bound to believe that it's true
You know there's some things that you put out
It's gonna come back on you
That which is not permanent don't last
Whatever's waiting in the future
Could be what you're running from in the past
Oh, I need a woman
I'll pull up
Need a woman
Drinking from the same cup
Someone who likes simple things
Is not afraid to bend
Someone who don't make herself up
To make every man her friend
And I want you to
Be that woman
Every day
Be that woman
Every way
Don't know what you got that I want
Don't know what I've got to give
Don't know how much time I got
Don't know how long I'll live
The rebellion in my soul, why was it created?
To blur the focus of my mind
And keep me isolated
But I need a woman
It ain't no crime
Need a woman
All the time
To see the promised land with me
As the time goes by
To rule my heart with sweetness
And boldness from on high
And I want you to
Be that woman
Yes I do
Be that woman
Straight and true
