The Kind of Man a Woman Needs lyrics

Handsome - no my man ain't handsome,

but there's a trace of a wondrous grace in his weary face.

Life has done its best to break him,

but his strength and courage make him

just the kind of man a woman needs.

Tender - he ain't always tender, but in his eyes

something warm and wise lifts me to the skies.

If his heart ain't always showing,

it's a comfort just in knowing

He's the kind of man a woman needs.

Sometimes he'll grow angry at some foolish thing I do,

Then he'll forgive to spare me pain.

Times he'll know I'm troubled

so he'll laugh to cheer me through,

till my heart is light as summer rain.

Youthful - no my man ain't youthful, that time's gone by.

But his head is high and his dreams won't die.

Though he's had his share of sorrow,

he looks forward to tomorrow.

He's the kind of man a woman needs.

He's the kind of man a woman needs.
