[A]When I was the [E]age of three
[D]My dear mother had a little t[A]alk with me
She said a [A]woman can be a good[E] little thing
But, son, [D]she mean a whole wor[A]ld to men
If I ha[A]dn't loved your daddy this [E]way
He wouldn't [D]be the big man he is [A]today
(CHORUS)
Don't you know a[A] man needs a [D]woman
A [D]man got to have a[A] woman
To carry [F#]on (to carry on)
To ca[A]rry on
Just like the[A] fish needs the[E] ocean
Just like [D]rough hand need a little[A] lotion
Like the [A]windows needs [E]pane
Like the [D]highway needs two[A] lane
(CHORUS)
Just like a [F#]vampire needs blood
Like a [A]dead dog need them bugs
Just like the d[F#]arkness needs the light
Just like the [B]fisherman, he needs
E (octave up)
He needs a little bite now, oh, yeah
(CHORUS)
Just like a[F#] boxer needs gloves
Just like [A]me, I need a little love
Like the [F#]soldier needs the gun
Like an[A] empire needs sun
I need [F#]you, yes I do
I need [A]you just to see me through
I've got to have you
