Tough by nature And strong to the core Had all the fight in my heart But nothing to fight for I always thought I was better off on my own I didn't know I was half Until she made me whole Like a wave needs a beach To break from the rolling Like a sinner needs forgiveness Cause without it he's hopeless Like a ship needs a lighthouse To know where it's going Oh a man needs a woman Soft to the touch And moves with grace When she gives her love It takes your breathe away I always thought I was better off on my own But what I never needed Now I could never let go Like a wave needs a beach To break from the rolling Like a sinner needs forgiveness Cause without it he's hopeless Like a ship needs a lighthouse To know where it's going Oh a man needs a woman Oh how I need you Oh how I need Oh I need you Like a wave needs a beach To break from the rolling Like a sinner needs forgiveness Cause without it he's hopeless Like a ship needs a lighthouse To know where it's going Oh a man needs a woman Oh a man needs a woman Oh a man needs a woman
