Lately I´ve been having evil dreams
I wake up in a cold blue glare
I run the tape back in my mind
Wonder if I took the wrong road somewhere
Searching for the truth the way God designed it
Well the real truth is that I might be afraid to find it

Well, I need a woman, alright
Need a woman, every night
To be with me and know me as I am
Show me the kind of love that don´t have to be condemned
And I want you to be that woman every day
Be that woman every way

Well I´ve had my eyes on you baby for five long years
Well you probably don´t know me at all
But I´ve seen your laughter and I´ve seen your tears
A tell-tale heart will show itself to anybody near
There´s always some new stranger in the night
To lend a sympathetic ear

Well I need a woman to be my own
I need a woman that´s mine alone
Seen you in the doorway, I seen you in the park
Seen you in the sunshine, I seen you in the dark
And I want you to be that woman oh oh oh
Be that woman every way

You keep listening to something long enough
You just bound to believe that it´s true
You know there´s some things that you put out
It´s gonna come back on you
That which is not permanent don´t last
Whatever´s waiting in the future
Could be what you´re running from in the past

Well I need a woman, oh pull up
Need a woman, drinking from the same cup
Someone who likes simple things, is not afraid to bend
Someone who don´t make herself up to make every man her friend
And I want you to be that woman every day
Be that woman every way

Don´t know what you got that I want
Don´t know what I got to give
Don´t know how much time I´ve got
Don´t know how long I´ll live
The rebellion in my soul, why was it created?
To blur the focus of my mind and keep me isolated

But I need a woman, she ain´t no crime
Need a woman, all the time
To see the promised land with me as the time goes by
To rule my heart with sweetness and boldness from on high
And I want you to be that woman, yes I do
Be that woman straight and true
