[Intro]

You see

Oh, there were many men who used to call themselves lovers

Oh yes, even philosophers

And don't forget Casanovas, but none of them are me

[Verse 1]

There were days when, oh, I used to wake up crying

I'm telling you it's hard not to give in

When your heart is dying

I can't say (I can't say, I can't say)

That I'm qualified (That I'm qualified, that I'm qualified, that I'm qualified)

To be a woman's man (To be a woman's man)

Each and every night (Each and every night, each and evеry night)

[Pre-Chorus]

All my life I've been searching for somеone (For someone) to love me (To love me)

My mama gave me away at a very early age with no identity (With no identity)

I'm not asking for sympathy (For sympathy)

I just need someone (Someone) to love me (I need someone to love me)

[Chorus]

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need some affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

[Verse 2]

I may be hard to believe (Hard to believe)

But I'm not looking for a beauty queen (A beauty queen)

Just an old fashioned woman (Woman) to take me (To take me), to take me out

Take me out of this misery (This misery, this misery)

[Pre-Chorus]

All my life I've been searching for someone (For someone) to love me (To love me)

My mama gave me away at a very early age with no identity (With no identity)

I'm not looking for (I'm not looking for) sympathy (I'm not looking for sympathy)

I just need someone (Someone; I need someone to love me) to love me

[Chorus]

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

[Pre-Chorus]

All my life I've been searching for someone (For someone) to love me (To love me)

My mama gave me away at a very early age (Early age) with no identity (With no identity)

I'm not looking for (I'm not looking for) sympathy (I'm not looking for sympathy)

I just need someone (I need someone to love me) to love me

[Chorus]

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

I'm nameless, ain't that a mess? (Ain't that a mess?)

Oh, I need affection (I need some affection), and someone to show me direction (Affection)

[Outro]

I need someone to love me

You see I, I don't want to beg anyone for sympathy (I need someone to love me)

I'm nameless (Where?)

I'm not a lover, not a philosopher (I need someone to love me)

I need someone to love me

I need someone to love me

I need someone to love me

Wait a minute

I need someone to love me
