You hold my hand when I've lost my way Have to bring me back when I've gone astray Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain That's what my man is for
To help to tell me when I've done wrong Someone to help me to keep going on And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong That's what my man is for
Someone to be my companion Someone who'll understand me Someone who'll stand along right here beside me And hold my trembling hand
I know I need someone to bring the lights to me on my darkest day Someone to lighten and brighten my every way And give me peace, give me peace, at close of day That's what my man is for
Someone to be my companion Someone who'll understand me I need someone who'll stand along right here beside me And hold my trembling hand
Come on and bring the lights to me on my darkest day I need someone to help me to lighten my every way And give me peace, give me peace, at close of day That's what my man is for
That's what my man is for I need someone, I need someone That's what my man is for That's what my man is for
That's what my man is for That's what my man is for I know that that's what I expect out of him And I know that's what most men do for their women That's what my man is for That's what my man is for
