When you need a friend
Someone you can lean on
Who will understand
Understand your problems

When you need a lover, whoa
Someone who will satisfy
Don't you call no other, no, no
Just call me anytime

If you want a man strong, but sensitive (ooh, baby)
Anything you need, I'll be willing to give
Every day and night I will treat you right
You need an all true man
