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 smilin'
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
Creepin' 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
Knowin' I'm the only one

He'll understand
All that I'm feelin' deep inside me
Knowin' that at last he's come

Oh well, oh well

Well, gettin' tired of lookin'
Wastin' all my cookin'
Endin' in a dreadful row

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
Knowin' I'm the only one

He'll understand
All, that I'm feelin' deep inside me
Knowin' that at last he's come

Maybe that I'm dreamin'
Can't say that I've seen him
Somehow, I've just got to find

Someone understandin'
Long enough to hand him
All that I've built up inside, the man

I need a man (I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true)
(I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true)
(I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true)

I need a man (I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true)
I need a man (I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true)
Perhaps that man is you
