A Woman, a Lover, a Friend (Alternate Version) - Otis Redding

Hum..., I want me somebody to hold my hand

Somebody to love me and understand

I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend, oh

I want me somebody to share my love

Lovin' is something I gotta have

I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend

I don't want a fancy gal, powder and paint

And I don't want me a woman who thinks she's a saint

I'm lookin' for someone who's not make believe

And doesn't mind giving so that she may receive

I want me somebody somewhere around

That's looking for someone

Tee pound for pound

Oooh, I want me a woman,

I want a lover, I want a friend

Yeah

I want this little girl right now

I Want to run away now

Want her really how now

Ah, baby

Come on baby

Need you right here by my side now

I need you to protect me

I need you to stand right by me

And I want you

And I want you to just

Come on baby

And I want you

I want you I want you

I want you I want you

I want you I want you

I want you I want you
