A Woman, A Lover, A Friend

Otis Redding

MMMMM, I want me somebody to hold my hand

Somebody to love me and understand

I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend, ouh



I want me somebody to share my love

Lovin' is something I gotta have

I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend



IIII don't want a fancy gal, powder and paint

And I don't want me a woman who thinks she's a saint

I'm lookin' for someone who's not make believe

And doesn't mind giving so that she may receive



I want me somebody somewhere around

That's looking for someone

TEE pound for pound



Oooh, I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend

Yeah

I want this little girl right now

I Want to run away now

Want her really how now

AAHH, baby

Come on baby

Need you right here by my side now

I need you to protect me

I need you to stand right by me

And I want you

And I want you to just

Come on baby

And I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you

I want you
