I Need A Strong Man - The To-To Song Young, Gifted And Black Outtake
Standin' tall like a woman oughta do
I need a man that I can hold on to, ooh
Darlin', I feel within myself
I need a strong man that I can hold on to
Oh, listen to me, my love, and a-hear what I say
And decide after that what you're gonna do
Will you be able to show me the way those times?
Out of the hands of loneliness, and into the sunshine
Can you give me a smile when I feel like cryin'
So I can get myself standin' there, shoutin' and testifyin' that
"I got a strong man, ooh, that I can hold on too!"
I know you need to have it in me
To be with me just as much as you can, and still know that you're free
I got sunshine, baby, somewhere here in my purse
And when it comes to this thing called "me", my man is first
Oh, check it out!
Look into my eyes, can't you see compassion?
Love is in my heart, don't hold your ration!
Look into her mind, there still at the front
That she's standin' tall like a woman oughta do!
We need a man that we can hold on to, too!
We need a man that we can hold on to, too!
Look into my eyes, can't you see compassion?
Love is in my heart, don't hold your ration!
Look into her mind, there still at the front
That she's standin' tall like a woman oughta do!
We need a man that we can hold on to, too!
We need a man that we can hold on to, too!
We need a man that we can hold on to, too!
