I met myself a woman down in Memphis She sat down and talked to me When I asked her to reply She looked in my eye and I said, "Woman, I know what you need, You need a man, One who's long enough to last, And he likes to take it slow and easy, You need a man, One with lovin' on his mind and All he wants to do is, baby now, please." She said, "Whoa, you're just a little bit crazed, You don't know what you're talkin' about." I said, "Now, listen little girl, I'll give a two pound pearl, If you only let me help you find out that You need a man, one who's long enough to last, And likes to take it slow and easy, You need a man, One with lovin' on his mind And all he wants to do is please." Now, I was sittin' in a little speakeasy, When I came across that delta girl, She said, "I hope you understand." As she opened up the hand, Now she said, "Honey, you can keep the pearl, 'Cause you are the man, One who's long enough to last, And likes to take it slow and easy, You are the man, One with lovin' on his mind and All he wants to do is please." Everyday seems a little brighter Every load feels a little lighter When I know I'm coming to you. When every road seems a little longer With every mile I grow a little stronger When I know I'm coming to you. You know I barely got enough money to buy the morning News I ain't seen a dollar since I last paid my union dues But with love you're never without And there ain't no reason to doubt Oh there ain't no reason...no reason to doubt. Always get a little lonely when I'm away from you I end up feeling sorry for the pain I put you through But with love you're never without, and there ain't no Reason to doubt Oh there ain't no reason, no reason to doubt. Everyday seems a little brighter Every load feels a little lighter When I know I'm coming to you. When every road seems a little longer With every mile I grow a little stronger When I know I'm coming to you. When I know I'm coming to you.
