Night is here again, baby I'm stretched out on my bed Seeing all kinds o' crazy notions Running through my head I need a progressive woman I need an awfully liberal woman Ain't no reactionary, baby Could ease my revolutionary mind One hand is on my pillow One hand is on my head I see a million nightmares Tearing around inside my head I need a progressive woman I need an awfully liberal woman I need a social conscious woman To ease my revolutionary mind If I could only make you see, babe I ache and pain and bleed I know you'll come a running If you blister both your feet I need a progressive woman I need an awfully liberal woman I need a social conscious mama To ease my revolutionary mind
