A Man to Love Her

She ate a quart of rocky road watching Casablanca,
cried when Ingrid turned to board the plane.
There's a place she needs to go where only love can take ya,
that's just the way she's made.

She needs a man to love her, someone warm and true;
sweet lips that know just what to say;
two strong arms - that reach out - she can fall into
in the quiet at the end of the day.
She needs a man to love her that way.

She reads some left coast magazines about modern independence;
she's just gotta laugh, or yawn -
seems a lot of lonely cowgirls trying to mend their fences
after the horse is gone.

She needs a man to love her, someone warm and true;
sweet lips that know just what to say;
two strong arms - that reach out - she can fall into
in the quiet at the end of the day.
She needs a man to love her that way.

Well time keeps passing, but the girl...
but the girl stays cool.
No she ain't breaking...she's making her way
past the players and phonies and fools.

Chorus
