My whole life rides on the mood of my lady
Her ups and downs are turning my life around
She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life
But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down
Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me
It shows right through the walls she's built around herself
Oh higher, oh higher I'm climbing in her eyes
It's a servant she wants but a man she must have
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave
Oh, two lives in tune, it's a delicate balance to keep
We'll stand together but never too near
Oh, hold me close but don't you smother me
I'll speak of my love but only for you to hear
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave
Her ups and downs are turning my life around
She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life
But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down
Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me
It shows right through the walls she's built around herself
Oh higher, oh higher I'm climbing in her eyes
It's a servant she wants but a man she must have
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave
Oh, two lives in tune, it's a delicate balance to keep
We'll stand together but never too near
Oh, hold me close but don't you smother me
I'll speak of my love but only for you to hear
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave
