It Takes A Whole Lotta Man For A Woman Like Me – Gladys Knight & The Pips

Um boy, you’re sure in a hurt
You think you can treat me like dirt and then
Get away with it, honey
Well, you got another thing comin’ now
You just want me to do anything you ask me to
Well then, we can’t make it baby
‘Cos this ol’ heart couldn’t take it, now
You mistook my kindness, the weakness in me
That ain’t the way true love is supposed to be

Oh, it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for a girl like her)
It’s gonna take more of a man than you’ll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)

Oh boy, you’re sure in a fix (Oh boy)
I’m sick and tired of your tricks and your heart that’s…
And you don’t even tell me why
Need someone who can see
What I’m tryin’ to be, but
You don’t appreciate
And I don’t like where I’m situated
Never knowin’ what changes you’re gonna go through
(Gonna go through)
And I don’t need no kid who’s alone and you

Oh, it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for a girl like her)
It’s gonna take more of a man than you’ll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)

Oh boy, you’re sure in a jam
What kinda fool do you think I am
Oh (Woo…)
Woo… Um…

Sick and tired of bein’ wrapped on a reel like piece of wood
Oh yeah, sick and tired of bein’ a laughing stock
Everyday of the neighborhood
Oh…

Oh, it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for a girl like her)
It’s gonna take more of a man than you’ll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)

Oh, yeah

Oh, it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for a girl like her)
It’s gonna take more of a man than you’ll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)

Woo…

Oh, it takes a whole lotta man for a woman like me
(Takes a whole lotta man for a girl like her)
It’s gonna take more of a man than you’ll ever be
(Better get yourself together, now)
