Don't Need A Man To Make Me Feel Like A Woman Leon sent me a song idea with Janice in mind. It was an interesting lyric! – just had to fit lines such as: Like a fish needs a velocipede Had to look that one up on Wikipedia. Fortunately for us Janice kindly agreed to sing – Leon obviously channeled his feminine side whilst writing this but I’m not sure it would have sounded right with him singing. Lyrics – Leon Vocals -the incomparable Janice Merritt I played the guitar and put it all together Thanks to Bud for recording Janice, feedback on the mix and encouragement. The Band:RealTracks in song: 2610:Bass, Electric, SoulFunkSwingAlex Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2437:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffleKevin Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 2436:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle Horns – some old horn samples I had lying around
Don’t need a man to make me feel like a womanYou think that ladies love outlaws But honey let me set you straight What gets my temperature rising Listen up, and I will relate I need a man I can talk to Who understands what I need Not a stud with only one talent I got to care for and feed I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be trueI’m looking for a man who’s not afraid To reveal his softer side A man who knows just when to push And when to let it slide I need a man who’s not a stranger To poetry and art Who’s gentle, kind and sensitive But with a lion’s heart I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be trueYou think that ladies love outlaws Oh, but that’s been overstated A lady wants a man to make her life Easier, not more complicated Some say a woman needs a man Like a fish needs a velocipede And while I don’t agree There are certain qualities I need You’ve got to treat me like an equal in every way Pick up on the subtle signs I send Pay close attention to every word I say Be my demon lover as well as my best friend I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true
I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman
Just need a man I can rely on to be true

Janice, Peter and Leon, This is very entertaining! from start to finish. The writing is strong, the melody is top notch, the arrangement is as creative as they come, the mix is excellent and Janice's vocals raise the proverbial roof (Janice, you've absolutely nailed singing the lyrics!). I don't know what to say! For that reason, I'm leaving it up to you. Please choose whichever one or more of the below appeal to you  - first class
- stunning
- totally enjoyable
- professional through and through
- clever
- skillful
- music at its best
- absolute quality
All the best, Noel P.S. I'm in awe of anyone who can use 'velocipede' in lyrics and then set it to music!

This song shines. A good fit for Janice's outstanding vocal. The addition of the horns really worked well to me.
Enjoyable all around.

Love the honky talk blues sound with the horns and organ - really cool arrangement. Janice sounds terrific.
Velocipede - really? LOL!
Fun song. Love it!

This rocks right from the off!
Nice guitar and the vocals handled so well, very tuneful and foot tapping.
Great solo and nice Brass.
Cheers.
Mike.

Leon/Peter/Janice
A terrific listen. (I did have to look up "velocipede").
Everything is right where it needs to be. As I listened, I simply... Listened!
The horns work!
The vocal - golden.
Nice.

This is just so much fun to listen to. someday if I ever get good enough, I'm gong to write a song with the lyrics that match your voice.

Well, what can we add to all this positivity?
We'll give it a try:
top-notch mix
very cool guitar work
Horn section beautiful
the ending of the song, just sounds like a real band.
And once again top-notch vocals by Janice!

Totally loved this! great beat and arrangement. And, of course, Janice's vocal is top notched. Great sound on the guitar and the horns are a great touch in the last half of the song. Great job in every way!
