I Need a Strong Man (The To-To Song)
Aretha Franklin
Standin' tall like a woman oughta do;
I need a man that I can hold on to, ooh...
Darlin', I feel within myself...
I need a strong man that I can hold on to...
Oh, listen to me, my love, and a-hear what I say,
And decide after that what you're gonna do...
Will you be able to show me the way those times?
Out of the hands of loneliness, and into the sunshine...
Can you give me a smile when I feel like cryin',
So I can get myself standin' there, shoutin' and testifyin' that
"I got a strong man - ooh! - that I can hold on too!"
I know you need to have it in me;
To be with me just as much as you can, and still know that you're free...
I got sunshine, baby, somewhere here in my purse,
And when it comes to this thing called "me", my man is first...
Oh, check it out!
<i>Look into my eyes - can't you see compassion?
Love is in my heart, don't hold your ration!
Look into her mind, there still at the front,
That she's standin' tall like a woman oughta do!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!
Look into my eyes - can't you see compassion?
Love is in my heart, don't hold your ration!
Look into her mind, there still at the front,
That she's standin' tall like a woman oughta do!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!
We need a man that we can hold on to, to!</i>
