Lyrics A Woman, a Lover, a Friend - Otis Redding

A Woman, a Lover, a Friend

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, ooh
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, 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 looking 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
To be pound for pound
Ooh, I want me a woman, I want a lover, I want a friend, yeah
Yeah
I want this little girl right now
I want her any way 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
