A Man In Need

[Verse 1]
I packed my rags, went down the hill
Left my dependents a-lying still
Just as the dawn was rising up
I was making good speed
I left a letter lying on the bed
From a man in need, it read

[Chorus]
You know it's so hard
It's so hard to find
It's so hard, well, well, well
Who's going to cure
The heart of a man in need? (Man in need)

[Verse 2]
All of my friends don't comprehend me
Their kind of style it just offends me
I want to take 'em, I want to shake 'em
Till they pay me some heed (Pay me heed)
Oh, you've got to ride in one direction
Until you find the right connection

[Chorus]
You know it's so hard
So, so, so
So hard to find, well, well
Who's going to cure
The heart of a man in need? (Man in need)

[Verse 3]
Who's gonna give you real happiness?
Who's gonna give you contentedness?
Who's gonna to lead you?
Who's gonna to feed you and cut you free? (Cut you free)
Well, I've sailed every ship in the sea
But I have traveled this world in misery

[Chorus]
You know it's so hard
It's so hard, so hard
So hard to find, well well
Who's going to cure
The heart of a man in need? (Man in need)

[Outro]
Well, who's gonna shoe your feet?
Ah who's gonna pay your rent?
And who's gonna stand by you?
Well, well, well, well
Who's going to cure
The heart of a man in need?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Man in need)
Of a man in need
