I Need a Woman
Stash & Sarah Bettens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello my old love,
You recognize this face
I saw you talking,
But I looked the other way
I have a blind belief,
The fire still burns
Hello my old love,
You recognize this face

I need a woman,
Why you pass me by
I need you woman,
Why you pass me by

Just I don't know where
You get this crazy afternoon
What do you say my love,
To a walk down the aisle
Just like days of old,
'Cause it's been way too long
What do you say my love,
to a walk down the aisle

I need a woman,
Why you pass me by
I need you woman,
Why you pass me by

I'll buy you a cup of coffee,
And we'll talk about your men
You'll tell me why you left them,
And I'll say I understand
What about a rented room,
We'll see how that works out
Hello my old love,
Guess you just read my mind

Oooh, I need a woman,
Why you pass me by
Oooh, I need you woman,
Why you pass me by
