About Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him

"Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him" is a song by Yoko Ono from her Double Fantasy album with John Lennon. The version released as a single, and on the compilation album Every Man Has a Woman, is credited to Lennon, and has stripped away Ono's lead vocal, while bringing Lennon's backing vocal up in the mix (this version was also released as a bonus track on the CD reissue of Milk and Honey). The B-side featured "It's Alright" by Ono and Sean Lennon. The last Lennon song to be released as a single, it failed to chart in either the United Kingdom or the United States. In 2007, the song was re-released as a UK-only 12" single on the Mynx record label where it was coupled with Elvis Costello's cover version of Yoko Ono's song "Walking on Thin Ice".

Every man has a woman who loves him
Rain or shine or life
Or death
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying?

Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life
And death
If she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she looks into his eyes

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I run when I feel like holding you?

Every man has a woman who loves him
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know
