I Need a Woman
McFly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been searching for some
Love and affection but there's nobody giving me that kind of attention
I'm alone
Oh, I'm alone

Can't help thinking that there's
Somebody missing who should
Hold me and please me 'til I'm
Tired of her kissing
I'm alone
Oh, I'm alone

But when it gets to midnight
I'm in my bed alone
You're all I want
You're all I need
It's cold in the night
But I'm looking for the heat

Baby I, I need a woman
Not any woman
But a woman who needs me too
So how about you?

Songs on the radio are
Just carbon copies of the
Way that I'm feeling after
Five cups of coffee
I'm alone
Oh, I'm alone

But when it gets to sunrise
I'm waking up alone
You're all I want
You're all I need
This bed is burning up 99 degrees

Baby I, I need a woman
Not any woman
But a woman who needs me too
Baby I, I need a woman
Not any woman
But a woman who needs me too
Hey so how about you?

Oh I believe it
Baby I, I need a woman
Not any woman
But a woman who needs me too

Oh I believe it
Baby I, I need a woman
Not any woman




But a woman who needs me too
So how about you?
