A man needs a woman, I want you to know
I hate to see, hate to see you go
Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye
I hate to see, hate to see you go
All the lonely nights we sat and cried
I'm livin' for your lovin', I hope you understand
Well, if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry
My cards are on the table, I ain't a cheatin' man
I don't know what to do, well I don't know what to do, no
'Cause you're a lonely woman and I'm a travelin' man, well
There's one thing you should know
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway
All the miles between us, you and I
Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye
Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye
You treat me like a stranger and I can understand
Too many to replace and it's too hard to erase
There's one thing you should know
And I need you to keep me satisfied
But I never gambled to play a losin' game
A man needs a woman to stand by his side
Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye
