Lyrics

Whoa, hold me, baby I need a man to love me Don't you understand me, baby? Why, I need a man to love I gotta find him, I gotta have him like the air I breathe One lovin' man to understand can't be too much to need You know it can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be this loneliness (oh no) Baby, surrounding me No, no, no it just can't be (No, it just can't be) There's got to be some kind of answer (No, it just can't be) And everywhere I look, there's none not around (No, it just can't be) Whoa, why it can't be? (No, it just can't be, oh no!) (Lord, now) Whoa, hear me now Whoa, won't you let me hold you? Honey, just close your eyes Whoa-oh-oh, won't you let me hold you, dear? I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles that going 'round the sun Let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes Because it can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be this loneliness (oh no) Baby, surrounding me No, no, no it just can't be (No, it just can't be) Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be, no, no, no (No, it just can't be) (What know?) And why didn't anyone ever tell me, now? (No, it just can't be) I wake up one morning, I realize (No, it just can't be) (Why, no?) Whoa, why it can't be? (No, it just can't be) Oh, God Now go! Whoa, what am I? I need a man to love me Oh, maybe you can help me, please Why-I-I, I need a man to love But I believe in that some being someday and somehow so it's bound to come along Because when all my dreams and all my plans just cannot turn out wrong You know it can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be now (oh no) Can't be just loneliness (oh no) Baby, surrounding me No, no, no, it just can't be (No, it just can't be) Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, it just can't be (No, it just can't be) (It hurt) And who could be foolin' me? (No, it just can't be) I've got all this happiness (No, it just can't be) Come, come, come on, come on, come on, and help me now (No, it just can't be) Please, can't you hear me cry? (No, it just can't be) Whoa, help... Why touch me there?
