Lyrics

A Man Needs a Maid

My life is changing in so many ways

I don't know who to trust anymore

There's a shadow running through my days

Like a beggar goin' from door to door

I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid

Find a place nearby for her to stay

Just someone to keep my house clean

Cook my meals and go away

A maid

A man needs a maid

A maid

A man needs a maid

A while ago somewhere I don't know when

I was watchin' a movie with a friend

I fell in love with the actress

She was playin' a part that I could understand

A maid

A man needs a maid

A maid

A man needs a maid

When will I see you again?

To give a love

You gotta live a love

To give a love

You gotta be part of

To give a love

You gotta live a love

To give a love

You gotta be part of

To give a love

You gotta live a love

To give a love

You gotta be part of

To give a love

You gotta live a love

To give a love

You gotta be part of
