Joan Armatrading - Thinking Man

In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
I'm gonna get someone
Who understands
I want a heart less demanding
Speak your mind but standing
Cuddling close
Cuddling close
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
I've had enough indifference
I I I I I I
That's all I heard
That's all I heard
I want someone who listens
No fighting for position
No other self
To have to satisfy
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
Oh I wanna be with you
I know that you want me too
Say it's not just for my body
In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
Cuddling close
Cuddling close
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
I'm gonna get someone
Who understands
I want a heart less demanding
Speak your mind but standing
Cuddling close
Cuddling close
A thinking man's what I want

A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
I've had enough indifference
I I I I I I
That's all I heard
That's all I heard
I want someone who listens
No fighting for position
No other self

A thinking man's what I want
