I just came in to drown some sorrow, I'll be leaving town tomorrow
I'm just another soul that's passing through
Itching right when I ain't walking, ain't had time to do much talking
And woman, I've been needing someone like you
You say my eyes are filled with sadness, well they once were filled with gladness
Why?
Once I loved someone I thought was true
But I found her with another, since that day there's been no other
Woman, I've been needing someone like you
Back then my better judgements failed me
I tried to kill him and they killed me
And you don't know the hell that I've gone through
Can't hold a job cause no one wants me
With a past like mine that I'm in now
Woman, I've been needing someone like you
The lack of love and conversation
Kills a man like slow starvation
All these years, that's all that I've gone through
Now you say that's all behind me
And it was meant for you to find me
Well, woman, I've been needing someone like you
Yes, woman, I've been needing someone like you
