My whole life rides on the mood of my lady

Her ups and downs are turning my life around

She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life

But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down.



Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me

It shows right through the walls she's built around herself

Oh higher, oh higher I'm climbing in her eyes

It's a servant she wants but a man she must have.



Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone

Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun

Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun

I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave.



Oh, two lives in tune, it's a delicate balance to keep

We'll stand together but never too near

Oh, hold me close but don't you smother me

I'll speak of my love but only for you to hear.



Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone

Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun

Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun

I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave.
