Have you noticed, I've never been impressed By your friends from New York and London I'll level accusations like the press Till you realize that you've dressed yourself in tatters Because the man's needs Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed A man's needs, man's needs Are lost on me A man's needs, man's needs Are full of greed, are full of greed A man's needs I'm not bothered, what you say or how you dress I'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting But really, this all seems quite meaningless And I remember that you never seemed to see The fact that man's needs Man's needs are full of greed, are full of greed A man's needs, man's needs Are lost on me A girl's needs, girl's needs Just don't agree, just don't agree With man's needs Have you noticed, I've never been impressed By your friends from New York and London But really this all seems quite meaningless And I remember that you never seemed to see The excuse, that man's needs, man's needs Are full of greed, are full of greed A man's needs, man's needs Are lost on me You say your man's needs, man's needs Have lots on me I don't agree A man's needs, oh, oh
