Wikipedia:
American singer Sandy Posey enjoyed success with singles such as her 1966 recording of Martha Sharp’s compositions Born a Woman and Single Girl. She is often described as a country singer, although, like Skeeter Davis (to whom she has been frequently compared), her output has varied. Later in her career, the term “countrypolitan”, associated with the “Nashville sound”, was sometimes applied.
Posey had four hit singles in Australia, Single Girl being the biggest.

Lyrics:

The single girl gets so tired of love letting her down
The life′s unreal, and the people are phony
And the nights can get so lonely
The single girl needs a sweet, loving man to lean on
