I was lost, I thought the losing dice were tossed
I didn't know where to go, I didn't have no one to turn to

Joe Tex – A woman (can change a man)

Joe Tex, was an American Southern soul singer-songwriter, most popular during the 1960s and 1970s. His style of speaking over music, which he called 'rap', made him a predecessor of the modern style of music.

A man can say what he won't do
But if she really, really wants to
A woman can change a man
She can make him weak
Or make him strong
Make him do right
Or she can make him do wrong
'Cause everything a man does
He does it for a woman
Hmmm, mmm hmmm
