Late every nite when I am all alone
  I call my baby on the telephone
  If she was here she'd treat me right
  And love me love me through this lonely nite
  Oh I can remember how her love can be
  And I can't forget the way she looks at me
  If you got a girl I'm sure she understands
  It takes a woman's love to make a man
  
  We're on the road tryin' to sell a song
  Been on this road for much too long
  All day all night it's drivin' me insane
  Cause I don't know when I'll see her face again
  But it ain't no easy thing we've got to do
  And I love her cause she knows it too
  She surely made me understand
  It takes a woman's love to make a man
  It takes a woman's love to make a man
  
  I give her love cause what else can it be?
  I give to her just what she wants from me.
  She loves me hard, she loves me right
  She'll love me love me through this lonely nite
  Then happiness we'll surely know
  Until again it will be time to go
  Oh she loves me like nobody can
  I know that women made me understand
  It takes a woman's love to make a man.
