Lyrics for The Lifetime of a Man

Every day in the lifetime of a man He needs a good woman that he can turn to That understands with satisfaction guaranteed To give him everything he needs Every day in the lifetime of a man Now sometimes it may seem that he just can't find Nothing on earth that will give him peace of mind But when trouble gets him down You got to always be right there to bring him around Every day in the lifetime of a man A lot of love and understanding of his ways Inspiration to carry on from day to day You got to give him comfort and be his guide You got to always, always be by his side Every day in the lifetime of a man Can I say it one more time? Every day in the lifetime of a man Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
