Night is here again, baby,
I'm stretched out on my bed
Seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Running through my head
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman.
There ain't no reactionary baby
Can ease my revolutionary mind.
One hand is on my pillow,
One hand is on my head,
I see a million nightmares
Tearing around inside my head;
I need a progressive woman
I need an awful liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind.
If I could only make you see, babe,
I ache and pain and bleed,
I know you'd come a runnin;
If you blistered both your feet.
I need a progressive woman
I need an awful liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind.
