Gonna Take a Woman

Adam Hood & Pat McLaughlin

Well, a heart can be wasted like a broken toy
A man can be turned to a mamma’s boy
And you know, it’s gonna take a woman

A friend of mine has lost his head
Made to lie in an empty bed
He knows, it’s gonna take a woman  

Oh, when the lights go down
Any place that he’s by himself
Is a dangerous part of town

Notified his next of kin
Aint surprised about the mess he’s in
They know, it’s gonna take a woman

Locked his doors, he’s had his fill
He’s better off with time to kill
And he knows, it’s gonna take a woman

It’s gonna take a woman and nothing else
To put a man through such a living hell
Play the fool, believe the lie,
Trying to ease your mind

Oh, when the lights go down
Any place that he’s by himself
Is a dangerous part of town

Doesn’t have to take that long
To get back to feeling strong
You know, it’s gonna take a woman

If your gonna stay afloat
And not climb into a sinking boat
You, know it’s gonna take a woman

It’s gonna take a woman
It’s gonna take a woman
It’s gonna take a woman
It’s gonna take a woman
All you need is a woman
