A Woman, A Lover, A Friend (alternate version) - Otis Redding

Written by：Sidney Wych

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 oh

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 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 lookin' 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

Tee pound for pound

Oooh I want me a woman

I want a lover I want a friend

Yeah

I want this little girl right now

I Want to run away 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
