Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To really love a woman
To understand her, you gotta know it deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
N' give her wings, when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
That she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
She needs somebody to tell her
That it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you
Til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her, really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
She needs somebody to tell her
That you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
That she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
She needs somebody to tell her
That it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me




Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
