(P. Cetera/M.Goldenberg)
Arranged by Peter Cetera and Mark Goldenberg
Horns Arranged by Jimmy Pankow

There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there

All alone, nothin' seemed to matter
So alone, doesn't get much better
Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere

All alone, suddenly you see her
So alone, you know y
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

Chorus:
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right

There was a time when you needed someone to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care

Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
She's so near, everything is better
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

Chorus
