  • It's been raining in the trenches all day long, dripping down to my clothes,
    My patience is wearing thin, got a fire inside my nose.
    Searching for the truth the way God designed it,
    The truth is I might drown before I find it.

    Well I need a woman, yes I do
    Need a woman, yes I do.
    Someone who can see me as I am,
    Somebody who just don't give a damn.
    And I want you to be that woman every night,
    Be that woman.

    I've had my eyes on you baby for about five long years,
    You probably don't know me at all, but I have seen your laughter and tears.
    Now you don't frighten me, my heart is jumping
    And you look like it wouldn't hurt you none to have a man who could give ya something.

    Well I need a woman, oh don't I
    Need a woman, bring it home safe at last.
    Seen you turn the corner, seen your bootheels spark,
    Seen you in the daylight, and watched you in the dark.
    And I want you to be that woman, all right
    Be that woman every night.

    Well, if you believe in something long enough you just naturally come to think it's true.
    There ain't no wall you can't cross over, ain't no fire you can't walk through.
    Well, believing is all right, just don't let the wrong people know what it's all about.
    They might put the evil eye on you, use their hidden powers to try to turn you out.

    Well I need a woman, just to be my queen.
    Need a woman, know what I mean? Writer/s: BOB DYLAN
