A Woman, a Lover, a Friend

A Woman, a Lover, a Friend (LP Version) - Otis Redding

Hum 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 oh

I want me somebody to share my love

Loving is something I gotta have

I want me a woman I want a lover

I want a friend

I 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 looking 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

Ah 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
