I ain't tryin' to hide nothin', I admit you left me blue
You don't see me cryin' about it, baby, I got better things to do
I don't worry too much when the fire dies down
I just take my matches to the other side of town

Love is everywhere you look, everywhere you go
Dancin' in the parking lot, listenin' to the radio
Bet you twenty dollars was a night like this
Adam and Eve kissed their very first kiss

Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Been that way since time began
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man

That's the way it is
Always has been
Always will be

Passion at the party, baby, passion in the park
Passion is the power, baby, passion is the spark
Passion's not something that you take or leave
Passion is something that you live and breathe

Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Been that way since time began
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man

I live for love
I don't deny it
I can't do without love
I don't even try it
I take one look at you
And I'm beside myself

What goes up must come down
What goes away, baby, comes back around
It's not the dancer, baby, it's the dance
It's not the romancer, baby, it's the romance

Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Been that way since time began
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man

Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man
Been that way since time began
Man needs a woman, woman needs a man

That's the way it is
Always has been
Always will be
Always will be
