美國搖滾天后［佩特班納特］──硬式／流行搖滾──［I Need A Lover／我需要一個愛人］

I need a lover that wont drive me crazy

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

I need a lover that wont drive me crazy

Some girl that knows the meaning of, ah-

Hey hit the highway!

Well Ive been walking the streets in the evenin

Racin through the human jungle at night

Im so confused, my mind is indifferent

Hey - Im so weak, wont somebody shut off that light?

Electricity runs through the video

And I watch it from this hole I call home

And all them stonies are dancin to the radio

And I got the world callin me up free tonight on the phone

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

Some girl wholl thrill me and then go away

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-

Hey hit the highway!

Well Im not wiped out by this poolroom life Im livin

Im gonna quit this job, and go to school, and head back home

(head back home)

Now Im not asking to be loved or be forgiven

Hey - I just cant face shakin in this bedroom

One more night alone

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-

Hey hit the highway!

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

Some girl to thrill me and then go away

(I need a lover that wont drive me crazy)

Some girl that knows the meaning of ah-

Hey hit the highway!

You betcha

１９７９年秋天　２６歲的派特．班納塔（Pat Benatar）發行首張大碟〔In the Heat of the Night／夜晚的熱力〕

前兩首單曲並沒早成迴響　連排行榜都沒打入

直到１９８０年才以第三單曲〔Heartbreaker／心碎者〕拿到單曲榜＃２３　逐漸打開知名度　成為未來搖滾天后

１９８０年３月　班納塔在荷蘭限定發行專輯第四主打［I Need A Lover／我需要一個愛人］

謠傳這是〔In the Heat of the Night〕首支主打, 但卻沒有相關證據

［I Need A Lover］由美國搖滾歌手約翰庫格（John Cogar）譜寫  收在他１９７８年第二張大碟［A Biography］中

１９７９年成為他首支美國Billboard單曲榜Top４０（＃２８）, 並登上澳洲榜冠軍

派特版由Mike Chapman＆Peter Coleman 製作成一首節奏活潑的硬式／流行搖滾

頗受好評

［I Need A Lover］登上荷蘭單曲榜＃３１

這是派特事業早期的佳作
