What does a man require?

Oh! what does a man require?
Oh! what does a man require?
Tell me what does a man require?

If a man is as empty as a shattered cup
Then he requires glue
If a drunken man inquires what fills me up?
Then buy him a drink or two
If a man is lonely as a man can be
Then he requires love
And if that man is a liar and he breaks your heart
Then he only requires warmth

Oh! what does a man require?
Oh! what does a man require?
Please tell me what does a man require?

And if what a man sees turns his spirit black
Then he requires faith
To keep him looking up until can't turn back
And question why he's in this place
Now if a man is the sum of all of his parts
Then he requires an equation
And for that man to see how it all adds up
Then he requires patience

Oh! what does a man require?
Oh! what does a man...
What does a man...
Require?
