[Verse 1]
My mother once told me I don't need a man
To be the best I can be
But just one look from you, I'm changing my plans
'Cause darling I need you like ships need the sea
Darling, I need you like ships need the sea
Ahhhhhhh
[Verse 2]
My grandfather told me that real men don't cry
But I saw your tears in the moonlight
That's when I knew that my grandfather lied
And darling I need you like birds need the sky
Darling, I need you like birds need the sky
Ahhhhhh
[Bridge]
Finally, you gave me the hope I'd awaited
Finally, you gave me your heart
Gladly I gave you the love you'd awaited
Gladly I gave you my heart
Finally, you gave me the hope I'd awaited
Finally, you gave me your heart
Gladly I gave you the love you'd awaited
Gladly I gave you my heart
Ahhhhhh
[Verse 4]
That preacher, he told me that love's not easy
I told him I don't want it to be
Darling, I need you like ships need the sea
And I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you for all of our days
I'm going to love you for all of our days
Ahhhhh
[Outro]
My mother once told me I don't need a man, but Darling, I need you
My mother once told me I don't need a man, but Darling, I need you
