Shine on your light

Lead me to your home

Lower your sights

Put away your comb

Though black babies are starving

And cows fed for the carving

All I know is I'm lonely

And I need to be with someone tonight

Lift up your chin

Let me see your eyes

Words are not my yen

My tongue is often tied

Though apartheid's a greater issue

I long to hear I miss you

All I know is I'm lonely

And I need to be with someone tonight

'Till men stop being intimidated

By women who have made it

All I know is I'm lonely

And I need to be with someone tonight
