The single girl, all alone, in a great big town
The single girl, gets so tired of love letting her down
The life's unreal and the people are phony
And the nights can get so lonely
The single girl, needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on

I'm a single girl wondering if love could be passing me by
I'm a single girl and I know all about men and their lies
Nobody loves me cause nobody knows me
Nobody takes, the time to go slowly
The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on

I gotta make, my own way, there's rent, I gotta pay
I need a night-time love, to get me through the day

I'm a single girl, all alone, in a great big town
I'm a single girl, and I get so tired of love letting me down
But there's a man I've yet to know, waiting somewhere I've yet to go

Someday I'll have, a sweet lovin' man to lean on
The single girl needs a sweet lovin' man to lean on
