Lord, it's hard to do without a man in the house Last night I needed a man so bad, I couldn't sleep at all I couldn't hardly wait for it to be morning Then the kids would go to school Then I'd roll over in bed and play a little game If you had to have one man, just one man in your life Who would it be? No, it wouldn't be the first one And he was so surprised to find out that I That I had never been before And I wouldn't take Mister Big shot, either Have another drink, girl But the one that I would want to keep I know who that would be The one who first took me during my time That I was hurting No, I said, we gotta wait But he touched me Oh, so gentle Oh, so gentle, gentle He just relaxed me on out, now she's flowing, he said Beautiful, beautiful river Beautiful, beautiful woman river And I love him for that Nobody could ever tell me anything bad about that man Deep in the night, I remember There I am reaching for you Wanting to turn to you That's all I want, oh, so much Deep in the night I need you to touch me, deep in the night I wait for daylight But daytime always gets blue But when the Sun go down, that's when I feel cold and old Deep in the night, I need you to hold me I read a book and I think about you I put it down and I think about you Make some coffee and I think about you Wash out the cup and I think about you Nine o'clock and I think about you Go to work and I think about you I punch my pillow and I think, I think about you Deep in the night I get lonely Why don't I try someone new? It didn't work out Don't I know because I know I tried Deep in the night I need you, I need you beside me yeah I need you deep in the night
