Maybe I Need a Man

Maybe I need a man, maybe I need a man, Maybe I need a man, maybe I need a man

You were there shining bright, tall, with red hair, eyes alight, I started talking, a first sign I was taken, it felt aligned

It was a brief moment, but I remembered you, from the time before, you told me about your music, heavy metal music, and I thought

I tried women before, and they never panned out, it was always me or them or the both of us making each other mad

And I’ve been searchin’ for the right girl, been waiting for the right time, but it always seems to escape the plan I had in mind, maybe there’s a next time,

maybe there’s not, and I thought

Maybe we can make something, maybe we can feel good, maybe my imaginings are just giving up for good

But I know just this little time I spent with you I felt for a moment, inclined, and I thought

Maybe I need a man, maybe I need a man, maybe I need a man
