[bad word] 
How many women does a man need?
How many does it take to make him happy?
How many hearts will he break?
How much time will he waste?
How many women does a man need?

[Verse]
When a man’s in love it’s said he’ll do all he can
And if he don’t then he must not be a man
It takes love to work it out
And it takes love to not walk out
But every man seems to walk out on his woman

[Verse]
You’re young and you got some heartbreaks in you
And you keep making plans to grow old with her
It takes time to clear your mind
And it takes time to waste more time
But how much time does anybody have on you?

 [bad word] 
How many women does a man need?
How many does it take to make him happy?
How many hearts will he break?
How much time will he waste?
How many women does a man need?

[Break]

[Verse]
You’ve had your wild years but you need more
Before [bad word] to me and lock the door
Because all of those lovers left you cold
But that’s more stories to be told
There ain’t no story that a woman’s arms can hold

 [bad word] 
How many women does a man need?
How many before he stands on his own feet?
How many hearts will he break?
How much time will he waste?
How many women does a man need?
How many women does a man need?
