Ry Cooder - I Need A Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been raining in my mouth all day
And it's dripping down to my clothes
Well my patience it is wearing thin
I got a fire inside my nose
Searching for the truth the way that God designed it
But the truth is I might drown before I find it

[Chorus]
Well, I need a woman
Yes I do
Need a woman
Yes I do
Someone who can see me as I am
And give me the kind of love that don't have to be condemned
And I want you to be that woman
Treat me right
Be that woman
Every night

[Verse 2]
I've had my eyes on you, baby
For about five long years
You probably don't know me at all
I've seen your laughter and I've seen your tears
Now you don't frighten me
I ain't no defendant
You look like it wouldn't hurt you none
To have a man of understanding
[Chorus]
I need a woman
Oh, don't I
I need a woman
Bring it home safe at last
I've seen you standing on the corner
Seen you sitting down in the park
I been watching you in the sunshine
Walking with you in the dark
And I want you to be that woman
Treat me right
Be that woman
Every night

[Verse 3]
Well, if you believe in something long enough
You just naturally come to think it's true
There ain't no wall you can't cross over
And ain't no fire you can't walk through
Well, believing is all right
Just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about
They might put the evil eye on you
Use their hidden powers to try to turn you out

[Chorus]
Well, I need a woman
Just to be my queen
I need a woman
Black, white, yellow, brown, blue or green
Riding out with me at midnight
Like two Spanish desperadoes
Gazing down upon the futile world
In her Cadillac Eldorado
We will penetrate the storm
In search of truth that has not been tested
But she better bring along her checkbook
Just in case we get arrested
And I want you to be that woman
Yes I do
[Outro]
Be that woman
(Want you to be that woman)
Yes I do
Well I need a woman
Yes I do
I need a woman
Yes I do
I need a woman
Yes I do
I need a woman
Yes I do
I need a woman
Yes I do
I need a woman
Yes I do
