It's a common misconception
  about a man's role in this world
  A provider and survivor and
  a winner who must never fail
  But oh how he needs a woman
  to reassure and give him strength
  through the darkest nights
  and the hardest fights
  when there's no other corner left
  When the world outside is threatening
  and all his dreams have been destroyed
  take him in your arms watch all his guards
  melt like a little boy
  Tell him you really need him
  Tell him you really care
  Tell him you'll never leave him
  He'll be satisfied
  
  And he may not find it easy
  to say what's on his mind
  When he's full of doubt
  say we'll work it out
  God knows how hard he's trying
  And he may never buy you roses
  and forget to notice your hair
  but as long as he says I love you my dear
  that's all you need to hear
  
  Tell him you really need him
  Tell him you'll aways care
  Tell him you'll never leave him
  He'll be satisfied
  
  And they say the heart's a hunter
  but it's truth you can't deny
  He may never be everything you want
  but for you he'd lay down and die
  So Friday night when the phone rings
  and he's stuck in a downtown bar
  roll away the stone
  cause the last mile home
  is the longest mile of them all
  
  Tell him you really need him
  Tell him you'll always care
  Tell him you'll never leave him
  He'll be satisfied
  Tell him you really want him
  Tell him you understand
  and tell him that you love him
  He'll be satisfied
