In my dream, I'm walking down the Nile with my king
And I know that he would take care of me and our family
And I look up to him
Are you there?
I need a man
To make me feel everything's gonna be alright (alright)
I need a man
To shelter me when the world is too much
I need a man who's strong in his mind, body and soul
Who walks with a proud stride and is in control of his world
I need a man who walks with God and is spiritually sound
Who has a great personality, is fun to be around
I need a man (I need a man)
To comfort me (to comfort me)
To make me feel (oh-oh) everything's is gonna be alright (everything will be alright)
I need a man (real man) to share my love (to share my love)
To shelter me when the world is too much
I need a man, who takes care of his own
Who doesn't run from responsibility
And takes care of his home
I need a man who's the head of our family
Who in times get hurt
Won't throw up his hands and leave
I need a man, who bring me sunshine with the rains
I need a man who shelters me from emotional pains
I need a man who loves me right
I need a man I can love, the rest of my life
I need a man (I need a man)
To comfort me (to comfort me)
To make me feel everything's is gonna be alright
('Cause everything will be alright)
I need a man (real man)
To share my love (to share my love)
To shelter me when the world is too much
Casting me
The world is telling us we can do it all
Not all you see
But that is not the way it's supposed to be (I need a man)
I don't wanna do this on my own
I want a man at home, I don't know about you
But I need a man
You know ladies
The world is casting it on us, we should do this on our own
And we do, we make our own money
We pay our own bills, take care of the kids alone
But to me, there's nothing better than having a good man in your life
A man who is strong and knows how to be your king (I wanna be your queen)
You see, from where I come from, I grew up with that
I watch my father, love my mother, love us too
And to me, it's okay to say
I need a man (I need a man)
To comfort me (to comfort me)
To make me feel everything's is gonna be alright ('cause everything will be alright)
I need a man (real man)
To share my love (to share my love)
To shelter me when the world is too much
