I Need a Woman
Jagged Edge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leave me alone,
If you're talking about the same old things
I need to know
Is there more to life than the same old freaks,
Wish you loved me for eternity,
Or leave right now, right out at the door!

[Chorus]
I need a woman, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one

I need, I need, I need, a woman
I need, I need, I need, a woman

I sit alone, all my days on my piano, usually solo,
Is there no one at home?
A lot of girls said they'd be there,
Well there's no one there no
Wish you loved me for eternity,
Or leave right now, out that door

I need a woman, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one

They still make 'em like they used to
I wanna be singing this song, no
If you got one just hold on to,
What everybody else wants
Wish you loved me for eternity,
Or leave right now, out at the door

I need a woman, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one

I need a woman, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one, I do
I really need a woman, it's true
I really need a woman, woman,
Ain't no substitution for a woman, woman
They don't make 'em like they used to girl i want one





I need a woman
I need a woman yes
