  • Listen, baby
    Don't even waste your tears on an insensitive man
    There's better than this for you
    I mean what you really need is someone who cares
    Someone that's gonna be there for you
    Someone like me, baby
    Someone with sensitivity (hoo)
    You understand?
    Can you feel it? Hey
    Na, na, na, na

    Girl, I know it's been hard since he went away
    And left you so sad, you cry every day
    Let me kiss your tears, erase all your doubts
    'Cause for you I'm here, you won't be without love
    (Listen, baby)
    Don't need a man that'll give you money (no)
    Come on let me show you just what you need, honey
    (I got what you need)
    Don't need a man that'll treat you funny

    Well, you need a man with sensitivity
    A man like me

    Someone who can love you
    Someone who will need you
    Someone who will treat you right, like me, girl
    Someone you can hold at night
    Someone stable in your life (ah baby)
    You need a man with sensitivity
    A man like me

    Baby, honey
    Baby, and I'm the man
    Ah, you know, you know, honey, like I do, baby
    Hang in there
    Hang on in there, baby, hoo

    You need a man with sensitivity
    You need a man like me

    You see, you need someone who's there like a gentleman
    If anybody can fit the description, baby, I can
    Someone who cares and dares to give himself completely
    You got it in me, you need a man with sensitivity

    You need a man, not any man
    Warm and sensitive, that's what I can give
    You need a man, not any man
    Warm and sensitive, that's what I can give
    You need a man, not any man (I'm a gentleman)
    Warm and sensitive, that's what I can give

    Man (man) with (man) sensitivity (man, yeah, baby)
    A man like me

    Don't need a man that'll give you money
    (Don't need a man, hoo)
    Come on let me show you just what you need, honey
    (Oh, I got what you need, baby)
    Don't need a man that'll treat you funny
    (I'm a gentleman at heart)

    You need a man with sensitivity
    A man like me

    Save a little love for me (save it, baby), sensitivity
    Baby, I got what you need (I got it), sensitivity
    Save a little love for me (save your love for me, yeah)
    Sensitivity

    Man with (hold on) sensitivity (hold on, baby)
    A man like me (hoo)

    Hold on, my darling (hang on in there, baby)
    (Everything gon' be alright)
    Don't let me down
    (I'll erase all your doubts)
    Hold on, my darling (I'm here for you, baby, no matter what)

    Man with (smooth) sensitivity (silky, silky)
    A man like me

    Don't need a man that'll give you money
    Don't need a man that'll (nah, oh sugar, no)
    Don't need a man that'll treat you funny
    Don't need a man that'll (ah, sugar, no)
    Don't need a man that'll give you money
    Don't need a man that'll (gentleman)
    Ah, sugar, no, no, no, no Writer/s: James Samuel Harris III, Terry Lewis
