Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo
Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo

Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo
Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo

You never have to worry about my love
As long as you're taking care of business with my heart
See I'm the kind of girl
To dedicate my world
And you gotta give me all you got
I need it all baby every drop

You got to show me
And mean the words you say
Its not a game for me baby
Its just not that way

[Chorus]
I'm only one woman baby
Treat me like a lady
You gotta take the time to show me
That I'm your one and only
I'm only one woman baby
And I need a one woman man

Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo
Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo

Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo
Shoo doo doo wop
Shoo doo doo woo

You never have to wonder if I care
If you're sharing the way I feel for love you know I'm real
I'm the kind of girl to dedicate my world
But you gotta give me all you got
I need it all every drop

You got to show me
And mean the words you say
Its not a game for me baby
Its just not that way

You got to show me
And mean the words you say
Its not a game for me baby
Its just not that way

[Chorus:Repeat x3]

I'm only one woman baby (I'm just a woman)
Treat me like a lady (I'm not your ordinary girl)
You gotta take the time to show me (You got to be down for me)
That I'm your one and only (The woman in your world)




I'm only one woman baby (I'm just one woman)
And I need a one woman man

I love how any song that pops into my head from decades ago can just be heard and seen again on YouTube. I'm so grateful.

JADE'S vocals are legendary. I miss this Era of music. I had so much fun during the 90s. If I could only go back in time.

Crystal Jeffrey

I’m 44 years old. This was one of my favorite songs from the 90’s. Thankyou for helping me to rediscover this song. Listen to it countless times in my room growing up in HighSchool as a teenager. Thankyou for taking me down memory lane❤️‍🔥🎶🎵

Confession Time: I was 16 in the 90s and Jade came to Denver and preformed at Elitches me and my friends were in the audience. During this song one of these ladies came up to me grabbed my hand and sang to me....Then I turned into this lil girl and started crying in front of everyone, my friends and all.  I was so embarrassed, totally lost all my coolness that day.  Wouldn't trade it for anything, good times.  Love these girls!!!
