They're so used to this
Getting approached all the time
They like taking advantage of
Well, of having cute behinds
It's like all the folks, you know
Who started ladies night, man
Giving them pass with fifty-cent drinks
Have they lost their mind?
Once you start something
You know its hard to stop
Don't ever give up the morrows or soon
She'll have your heart
You're looking good on the surface
But you're going down
Before you know it, she'll chew you up
And spit you out
The lady wants a man
Some may not know it
'Til they look at who they are
Lady wants a man
Some think it's money
Just to find a expensive man
Lady wants a man
And they expect a man
Who knows just who they are
Lady wants a man
That's in control
Who's not afraid of saying no
The lady wants a man
The lady wants a man
I'll give you what you need
Not what you think you want, material things
If by some strange coincidence
That what you want is what you need
Then, baby, it's yours, man
Don't be afraid of the truth
Go out and have a ball
You'll be back when you find out
That the, the thrill is gone
I know you need to be loved
In more ways than one, that's why you come
Making love to your mind means more to me
When we are one
The lady wants a man
Some may not know it
'Til they look at who they are
Lady wants a man
Some think it's money
Just to find a expensive man
Lady wants a man
And they expect a man
Who knows just who they are
Lady wants a man
That's in control
Who's not afraid of saying no
Ladies, ladies
I think you're beautiful
I just, I just don't think you should
Want a man that you would control
But a man who can control himself
And his feelings toward you
And make you feel like a lady
Make you feel as beautiful as you are
I just love a woman for being a woman
And for knowing what she wants
And accepting me as a man
Loving me and doing things to me
(Who's not afraid of saying no)
It's so good and I'll do the same to you
Because you're a woman and I love you
And I know you're a woman who really wants a man
And not a man who just has money
That can just do thing for them
But a man that's a man, you know what I mean?
Yeah...
