Gonna Take a Woman

[Verse 1]
Well, a heart can be wasted like a broken toy
A man can be turned to a mama's boy
And you know it's gonna take a woman
A friend of mine has lost his head
Made to lie in an empty bed
And he knows it's gonna take a woman

[Chorus]
Oh, when the lights go down
Any place he's by himself is a dangerous part of town
And notify his next of kin
Ain't surprised 'bout the mess he's in
They know it's gonna take a woman

[Verse 2]
Locked his doors and he had his fill
He's better off with time to kill
And he knows, mmm, it's gonna take a woman

[Bridge]
It's gonna take a woman and nothing else
To put a man through such a living hell
You can play the fool, believe the lie
And try to ease your mind

[Chorus]
Oh, when the lights go down
Any place he's by himself is a dangerous part of town
It doesn't have to take that long
To get back to feeling strong
And you know it's gonna take a woman
And if you're gonna stay afloat
And not climb into a sinking boat
And you know it's gonna take a woman (Gonna take a woman)
Oh, gonna take a woman
All you need is a woman
Yeah (Gonna take a woman)
Ooh, it's gonna take a woman
Gonna take a woman
All you need is a woman
Yeah
All you need is a woman
