Lyrics of A Man Needs A Maid by Neil Young
verse
My life is changing in so many ways
I don′t know who to trust anymore
There's a shadow running through my days
Like a beggar going from door to door
I was thinking that maybe I′d get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away
chorus
A maid
A man needs a maid
A maid
verse
It's hard to make that change
When life and love turns strange
And old
To give a love, you gotta live a love
To live a love, you gotta be part of
When will I see you again?
A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playing a part that I could understand
chorus
A maid
A man needs a maid
A maid
outro
When will I see you again?
Writer(s): Neil Young
