Without a Woman

[Verse 1]
Without a woman, yes, mammy, not you
Without a woman, oh life just ain't worth livin'
You know it's companionship and some sweet affection
To keep them movin', oh yeah, in the right direction, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Without a woman, oh, a man just won't sit down with you
Without a woman, yeah, the good light just won't shine
He needs a loving soul, and he's got to have a little inspiration
A sweet woman's love, oh yeah, will bring salvation
Let me tell you something

[Bridge]
I once, I once had a good woman
Who tried times, and cried times
"I love you", and it would just pull me through
But a fool, a fool, a fool had to find out the hard way
But I, I learned my lesson, and that's the reason
That's the reason I'm tellin' you, listen to me now, yeah

[Verse 3]
Without a woman, you know a man's nights are so cold
And without a little woman, you know a man
Ain't got nothin' at all, and know it is of affection
He never had somebody to guide him in the right direction

[Outro]
Yeah, a man ain't got to lust after sweet woman
'Cause he oughta be walkin' in it, and be with her
With love, and somebody to be with her, yeah
Say yeah
