When I'm feelin' lonely Someone telephone me It's gettin' hard to pass my time Take me out'a dinin' Watch me while I'm smiling Baby, it's a waste of time I need a man, perhaps a man like you I need a man, to make my dreams come true Say that you will find him Creeping up behind him Rulin' round' the town all day Well, I'm underestimated Hardly underrated Can't there be another way? I need a man, perhaps a man like you I need a man, to make my dreams and I need a man And then I won't be feelin' lonely Knowing I'm the only one He'll understand All that I'm feelin' deep inside me Knowing that at last he's come Oh well, Oh well Well, gettin' tired of lookin' Wastin' all my cookin Ending in a dreadful rile Can somebody tell me Say to me, or spell me Why I'm feelin' lonely, wow! Ow I need a man, perhaps a man like you I need a man to make my dreams And I need a man And then at night I won't be lonely Knowing I'm the only one He'll understand All, that I'm feelin' deep inside me Knowing that at last he's come Maybe that I'm dreaming Can't say they I've seen him Somehow, I've just got to find Someone understanding Long enough to hand him All that I've built up inside, the man I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true Perhaps that man is you
