Dm                         C
My life is changin' in so many ways
              A#              F
I don't know who to trust anymore
Dm                         C
There's a shadow runnin' through my days
        A#                        Dm
Like a beggar goin' from door to door
       Dm                            C
I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid
        A#                       F
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Dm                      Am7
Just someone to keep my house clean
       A#             Dm
Fix my meals and go away

Chorus:
 Dm C A#              Dm G F Em
A maid A man needs A maid
 Dm C A# Dm
A maid

      Am   G  F    Em7  Dm7
It's hard to make that change
      Am  G    F    Em7  Dm7
When life and love turn strange
     D A# F
And cold

    C          G
To give a love
           A#         F
You gotta live a love
    C          G
To live a love
          A#        F
You gotta be part of
  C                      G A# Dm
When will I see you again

A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watchin' a movie with a friend
I fell in love with the actress
She was playin' a part that I could understand

Chorus:
A maid
A man needs a maid
A maid
A man needs a maid

When will I see you again
