Have to bring me back when I've gone astray.
Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain.
That's what my man is for.
To help to tell me when I've done wrong,
Someone to help me to keep going on;
And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong.
That's what my man is for.
Someone to be my companion,
Someone who'll understand me,
Someone who'll stand along right here beside me
And hold my trembling hand.
I know I need someone to bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
Someone to lighten and brighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
[Chorus]
Come on and bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
I need someone to help me to lighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I need someone, I need someone.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I know that that's what I expect out of him.
And I know that's what most men do for their women.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
