Big Brother & the Holding Company - I Need a Man to Love Lyrics

Whoa, I need a man to love me
Don't you understand me, baby?
Why, I need a man to love
I gotta find him, I gotta have him like the air I breathe
One lovin' man to understand can't be too much to need

You know it
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

No, no, 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 can't be
No it just can't be, oh no!
Whoa, hear me now

Whoa, won't you let me hold you ?
Honey, just close your eyes
Whoa, won't you let me hold you, dear ?
I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going 'round the sun
Let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes

Because it
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
No, no, no it just can't be
No it just can't be
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be
No, no, no
No it just can't be

And why can't anyone ever tell me, now ?
No it just can't be
I wake up one morning, I realize
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be
Now go!

Whoa, I need a man to love me
Oh, maybe you can help me, please
Why, I need a man to love
But I believe that someday and somehow it's bound to come along
Because when all my dreams and all my plans just cannot turn out wrong

You know it
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 just loneliness
Baby, surrounding me

No, no, no, it just can't be
No it just can't be
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, it just can't be
No it just can't be
And who could be foolin' me ?
No it just can't be
I've got all this happiness
No it just can't be
Come, come, come on, come on, come on, and help me now
No it just can't be
Please, can't you hear my cry ?
No it just can't be
Whoa, help
