It Takes A Whole Lotta Man For A Woman Like MeGladys Knight & The Pips

[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
Boy, you sure ain't a hurt
You think you can treat me like dirt
And then get away with it, honey
Well, you got another thing coming, now
You just want me to do
Anything you ask me to
Well then, we can't make it, baby
'Cause this old heart couldn't take it, now

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistook my kindness for weakness in me (Weakness)
That ain't the way true love is supposed to be (That ain't the way love's supposed to be)
Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
It takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for the girl, now) Mmm
It's gonna take more man than you'll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)

[Verse 2]
Ooh boy, you're sure in a pinch (Oh, boy)
I'm sick and tired of your tricks (Sick and tired of your)
And your far-fetched alibis
And you don't even tell me why
Need someone who can see (Oh boy)
What I'm trying to be, well (Well, well, well)
You don't appreciate
And I don't like where I'm situated

[Pre-Chorus]
Never knowing what changes you're gonna go through (Gonna go through)
I don't need no kid who's as old as you (Don't need no kid as old as you)
Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
It takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for the girl, now)
It's gonna take more man than you'll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)
Oh oh oh oh, boy you're sure in a jam
What kind of fool do you think I am?

(Woah oh oh oh) Oh oh oh oh
(Woah oh oh oh) Oh oh oh oh oh
Mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Sick and tired of being run through the mill
Like a piece of wood, oh yeah
Sick and tired of being the laughing stock
Every day of the neighbourhood
Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
It takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for the girl, now)
It's gonna take more man than you'll ever be
(Woah oh, woah oh) Oh oh, yeah

(Takes a whole lotta man) For a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for the girl, now) Oh oh oh oh
It's gonna take more man than you'll ever be
(Woah oh, woah oh) Woah oh, woah oh

It takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me, mmhmm mmm
(Takes a whole lotta man for the girl, now)
It's gonna take more man than you'll ever be
(Woah oh, woah oh) Woah oh, woah oh
