lyrics version 1
Don't need a keeper for my house
I want a keeper for my soul
Don't want someone to fix my food
I need someone to feed my soul
I am not using you
I am loving you
And what was nothing but a part
Because of you became a whole
I need a woman not a maid
I need a lover not a toy
I don't want comfort for the night
I want a partner for the road
I am not using you
I am loving you
I want someone to share the joy
I want someone to share the load
What's the reason two lives come together
Sometimes people make each other sad
Sometimes sunshine turns into bad weather
Baby please believe me I will never make you sad
I want a woman who will love me
Who will share the years ahead
I want someone who I can trust
I want to love her all my life
I won't be using you
I'll be loving you
I want someone to share my bed
And not a mistress but a wife
What's the reason two lives come together
Sometimes people make each other sad
Sometimes sunshine turns into bad weather
Baby please believe me I will never treat you bad
I need a keeper for my house
I need a keeper for my soul
Don't want someone to fix my food
Unless they also feed my soul
I am not using you
I am loving you
And what was nothing but a part
Because of you became a whole
I want a keeper for my soul
Don't want someone to fix my food
I need someone to feed my soul
I am not using you
I am loving you
And what was nothing but a part
Because of you became a whole
I need a woman not a maid
I need a lover not a toy
I don't want comfort for the night
I want a partner for the road
I am not using you
I am loving you
I want someone to share the joy
I want someone to share the load
What's the reason two lives come together
Sometimes people make each other sad
Sometimes sunshine turns into bad weather
Baby please believe me I will never make you sad
I want a woman who will love me
Who will share the years ahead
I want someone who I can trust
I want to love her all my life
I won't be using you
I'll be loving you
I want someone to share my bed
And not a mistress but a wife
What's the reason two lives come together
Sometimes people make each other sad
Sometimes sunshine turns into bad weather
Baby please believe me I will never treat you bad
I need a keeper for my house
I need a keeper for my soul
Don't want someone to fix my food
Unless they also feed my soul
I am not using you
I am loving you
And what was nothing but a part
Because of you became a whole
