Lyrics I Need a Man by Prince

Whoa-oh-oooh
Whoa-oh-oooh

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
'Bout how 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 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's strong, I don'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 real Mercedes-Benz
They tell me that Springsteen is one of your best friends
Money don't make no man, sucker, get up off that funk
Let me tell you one more in case you're drunk

If money's all you got, I don't want it, oh
If you can't 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, I ain't got time to fool around

I need a man
I need a real man
Think I don't?
I need a man
I need a M-A-N, real man, whew, yeah

[Ad lib]
Give it to me
Give it
Is it alright if I play this thing?
Get out 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, mmm
If you can't me hot, I don't need you around
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!
Ow!
Give it to me!
Work!
Skip the change, keep grooving
Ow
Work
Uh
Need a man, yeah
M-A-N, real man
Ow, give it to me
