I Need a Man Songtext
von Prince

People say you got big money, tell me, is it true?
They tell me that they′ll wait in line just to get a date with you
Thought that tonight you gave a hundred dollars to a skid row bum
Well, let me tell you something, baby, if you think I'm dumb

If money′s all you got, I don't want it
If you can't make me hot, I don′t need you ′round
If you can't turn me on, I don′t need it
I need a lover that is strong, ain't got time to fool around

I need a man
I need a real man
I need a man
I need a M-A-N, real man

They say you got a fancy car, a big Mercedes-Benz
They tell me that the Springsteen is one of your best friends
Money don′t make no man, sucker, get up off of that funk
Let me tell you one more time in case you think I'm drunk


If money′s all you got, I don't want it, oh
If you can't make me hot, I don′t need you ′round
If you can't turn me on, I don′t need it, no
I need a lover that is strong, ain't got time to fool around

I need a man
I need a real man
Think I don′t?
I need a man, yeah
I need a M-A-N, real man, yeah

Give it to me
Give it
Is it alright if I play this thing?

Get out of my way now

The only way to get me hot
I need a lover with a lot
A little money don't hurt
But I′d rather have a body that works

If money's all you got, I don't want it
If you can′t make me hot, I don′t need you 'round
If you can′t turn me on, I don't need it, no
I need a lover that is strong, ain′t got time to fool around


I need a man, oh
I need a real man
Think I don't?
I need a man, yeah
I need a M-A-N, real man
I need a M-A-N, real man
Say it again
M-A-N, real man
One more time
M-A-N

The only way to get me hot
I need a lover with a lot
A little money don′t hurt
But I'd rather have a body that works

Work
Work
Hold on
Give it to me

Give it to me
Work
Skip the change, keep grooving

Work
Need a man, yeah
M-A-N, real man

Give it to me
