I met myself a woman down in Memphis
She sat down and talked to me
When I asked her to reply
She looked in my eye and I said
"Woman, I know what you need
You need a man
One who's long enough to last
And he likes to take it slow and easy
You need a man
One with lovin' on his mind and
All he wants to do is, baby now, please."
She said, "Whoa, you're just a little bit crazed
You don't know what you're talkin' about."
I said, "Now, listen little girl
I'll give a two pound pearl
If you only let me help you find out that
You need a man, one who's long enough to last
And likes to take it slow and easy
You need a man
One with lovin' on his mind
And all he wants to do is please."
Now, I was sittin' in a little speakeasy
When I came across that delta girl
She said, "I hope you understand."
As she opened up the hand
Now she said, "Honey, you can keep the pearl
'Cause you are the man
One who's long enough to last
And likes to take it slow and easy
You are the man
She sat down and talked to me
When I asked her to reply
She looked in my eye and I said
