janis joplin - i need a man to love lyrics

whoa, i need a man to love me.
don t you understand me, baby ?
why, i need a man to love.
i gotta find him, i gotta have him like the air i breathe.
one lovin man to understand can t be too much to need.

you know it
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be this loneliness
baby, surrounding me.

no, no, know it just can t be
no it just can t be
there s got to be some kind of answer.
no it just can t be
and everywhere i look, there s none around
no it just can t be
whoa, it can t be
no it just can t be, oh no!
whoa, hear me now.

whoa, won t you let me hold you ?
honey, just close your eyes.
whoa, won t you let me hold you, dear ?
i want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going round the sun.
let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes.

because it
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be now
oh no
can t be this loneliness
baby, surrounding me.
no, no, no it just can t be.
no it just can t be
oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can t be.
no, no, no
no it just can t be

and why can t anyone ever tell me, now ?
no it just can t be
i wake up one morning, i realize
no it just can t be
whoa, it can t be.
no it just can t be
now go!

whoa, i need a man to love me
oh, maybe you can help me, please.
why, i need a man to love.
but i believe that someday and somehow it s bound to come along
because when all my dreams and all my plans just cannot turn out wrong.

you know it
can t be now oh no
can t be now oh no
can t be now oh no
can t be now oh no
can t be now oh no
can t be just loneliness
baby, surrounding me

no, no, no, it just can t be
no it just can t be
oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, it just can t be
no it just can t be
and who could be foolin me ?
no it just can t be
i ve got all this happiness
no it just can t be
come, come, come on, come on, come on, and help me now.
no it just can t be
please, can t you hear my cry ?
no it just can t be
whoa, help ...
