Lyrics Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin

I Need a Man to Love

Whoa, I need a man to love me.

Oh, don't you understand me, baby ?

Why, I need a man to love.

I want me someone to hold me when I, I call out for aid.

Someone to be around me so I won't be afraid.

Because it can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be this loneliness

Baby, surrounding me.

No, no, know it just can't be

No it just can't be, oh Lord

Oh baby baby baby it just can't be, no no no.

No it just can't be, no

Whoa, it can't be

No it just can't be

Alright.

Yeah!

Whoa, won't you let me hold you ?

Honey, just close your eyes.

Whoa, won't you let me hold you, baby ?

Hey, hey, I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going 'round the sun.

And let me, let me hold you daddy, I said, at least until the morning comes.

Because it

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be this loneliness

Baby, surrounding me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No it just can't be, no

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be, no

No it just can't be no more

Whoa, it can't be

No it just can't be

Alright, go on play it!

Hey!

Yeah, hey!

Whoa, I need a man to love me,

Oh, can't you help me, please.

Why, Lord, I need a man to love.

Hey, I want me someone to hold me when I call out for aid

And someone to be around me so I won't be afraid.

Because it

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be now

Can't be this loneliness

Baby, surrounding me.

No, no, no, it just can't be

No it just can't be no more

Oh, daddy, daddy, daddy, it just can't be, no no no.

No it just can't be

Whoa, honey it can't be

No it just can't be
