A              E
When I was the age of three
D                            A
My dear mother had a little talk with me
           A                  E
She said a woman can be a good little thing
          D                   A
But, son, she mean a whole world to men
       A                          E
If I hadn't loved your daddy this way
            D                    A
He wouldn't be the big man he is today


(CHORUS)
                A            D
Don't you know a man needs a woman
  D                A
A man got to have a woman
         F#m
To carry on (to carry on)
     A
To carry on


             A              E
Just like the fish needs the ocean
          D                       A
Just like rough hand need a little lotion
         A             E
Like the windows needs pane
         D                A
Like the highway needs two lane


(CHORUS)

            F#m
Just like a vampire needs blood
       A
Like a dead dog need a little mud
               F#m
Just like the darkness needs the light
              B
Just like the fisherman, he need
                  E (octave up)
He needs a little bite now, oh, yeah


(CHORUS)

           F#m
Just like a boxer needs gloves
          A
Just like me, I need a little love
         F#m
Like the soldier needs the gun
       A
Like a hamburger needs bun
       F#m
I need you, yes I do
       A
I need you just to see me through

I've got to have you
