The single girl, all alone in a great big town The single girl, gets so tired of love lettin' her down The life's unreal and the people are phony And the nights can get so lonely The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on I'm a single girl wonderin' if love could be passin' me by I'm a single girl and I know all about men and their lies Nobody loves me 'cause nobody knows me Nobody takes the time to go slowly The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on I gotta make my own way, there's rent I gotta pay I need a night-time love to get me through the day I'm a single girl all alone in a great big town I'm a single girl and I get so tired of love lettin' me down But there's a man I've yet to know Waitin' somewhere I've yet to go Someday I'll have a sweet lovin' man to lean on The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on
