  22 A
  23  Lately I've been having evil dreams,
  24   E                      A
  25 I wake up in a cold blue glare
  26
  27 I run the tape back in my mind,
  28           E
  29 wonderin' if I took the wrong road somewhere.
  30 D
  31  Searching for the truth the way God designed it,
  32
  33 Well, the real truth is that I may be afraid to find it

  38 Well I need a woman, all right
  39               G   D A
  40 Need a woman, every night.
  41 D
  42  To be with me and know me as I am,
  43
  44 To show me the kind of love that don't have to be condemned
  45     E             A
  46 And I want you to be that woman Yes, I do
  47 G   D  A                  G  D  A

  52 I've had my eyes on you baby for five long years,
  53 Well, you probably don't know me at all,
  54 but I have seen your laughter and I've seen your tears.
  55 A tell-tale heart will show itself to anybody near
  56 There's always some new stranger in the night
  57 To lend a sympathetic ear.
  58 </pre>
  59
  60 <pre class="refrain">
  61 Well I need a woman to be my own
  62 Need a woman that's mine alone.
  63 Seen you in the doorway, I seen your in the park,
  64 Seen you in the sunshine, I seen you in the dark.
  65 And I want you to be that woman.
  66 (Oh oh oh,  Be that woman every way).

  70 You keep listening to something long enough
  71 you just bound to believe that it's true.
  72 You know there's some things that you put up,
  73 it's gonna come back on you
  74 That which is not permanent don't last
  75 Whatever's waiting in the future
  76 could be what you're running from in the past

  79 <pre class="refrain">
  80 I need a woman, [ah pull up]
  81 Need a woman, [ticket from the same stub] (?) :-)
  82 Someone who likes simple things, is not afraid to bend
  83 Someone who don't make herself up to make every man her friend
  84 And I want you to be that woman
  85 (every day, be that woman every way)

  87
  88 <pre class="verse">
  89 Don't know what you got that I want,
  90 Don't know what I got to give
  91 Don't know how much time I've got,
  92 don't know how long I live
  93 The rebellion in my soul - why was it created?
  94 To blur the focus of my mind and keep me isolated
  95 </pre>
  96
  97 <pre class="refrain">
  98 But I need a woman, ain't no crime
  99 Need a woman, all the time
 100 To see the promised land with me as the time goes by
 101 To rule my heart with sweetness and boldness from on high
 102 And I want you to be that woman, Yes I do
 103 Be that woman straight and true.
