Life needs a strong man
really strong man
But what a man needs even more
Is the love of a woman
The love of a woman

Man's gotta be what a man's gotta be
Man's gotta feel what a man's gotta feel
The love of a woman
The love of a woman

Takes a lot of time to be a good man
Takes a lot of men to be on God's road
That leads to the city but it on
See the trouble with no one

'Cause when you get there right on the top
You see the selfish people, they never stop
Searching for a treasure they can't find
'Cause it's all in their minds

Life needs a strong man
really strong man
But what a man needs even more
Is the love of a woman
The love of a woman

So you thought you could leave like a stranger alone
See the trouble with no one 
And your heart could [bad word] as hard as strong
So you thought you can make it because being wise
And nobody by your side
Now you feel like a motherless child
motherless child
motherless child

What a child even needs more
The love of a woman
The love of a woman

Takes a lot of tries to get you back
Takes a lot of lovin' to ride above
But once you get there you're alive
Now let me say it
Takes only a smile to set me free
Takes only a kiss and I will never be
man that is lonely 
I never, never be lonely again

Life needs a strong man
really strong man
But what a man needs even more
Is the love of a woman
The love of a woman
The love of a woman
The love of a woman
