I was talking to a friend of mine   about how I'd lost my faith.   My bird of paradise   had gone and flown away.   He gave me some advice,   said I'm better off alone.   Was a blessing in disguise   that the bird had flown.   Cause I need a woman   like I need a hole in my head.      Walking 'cross a firing line, yeah   Everybody's got their say.   To lead someone else's life, well,   seems easier in a way.   Started thinking he might be right, yeah   I could make it on my own.   Soft music and candlelight   will pave the road to the Devil's home.   Cause I need a woman   like I need a hole in my head.      Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.   Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.   And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.   Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.      Staring into space last night, yeah,   up to the evening sky.   A shooting star cast a light   that opened up my eyes.   I sat back and I cracked a smile,   cause then it all made sense:   A bitter man builds a wall   where a smart man climbs a fence.   Cause I need a woman   like I need a hole in my head.      Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.   Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.   And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.   Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.
