She'll fuss a little, fret a little, make your life worthwhile
Still you'll trade her every tear to see her when she smiles
You've got to have a worthwhile aim more than you've ever tried
What you need is a woman, a woman by your side
She'll make you gray and spend your pay and even be a pain
But when she leaves you're happy when she comes back home again
She'll push you on to greater things, she's worth much more than pride
What you need is a woman, a woman by your side
She'll mother all your children and she'll cook your meals for you
She'll be around when you feel down, keep you from feeling blue
So single man, though you may think you've conquered far and wide
What you need is a woman, a woman by your side
The road of life sometimes gets hard, almost too much to bear
You'll find that it comes easier if a woman's standing there
She'll pick you up with a loving kiss, she'll give your heart a ride
What you need is a woman, a woman by your side
