Woman's Gotta Have It
K-Ci Lyrics

Once upon a time a good friend of mine
My friend told me some important advice that I want to pass on to you.

Told me to tell y'all what I say today
He wanted me to share with everyone what I believe about how to treat women.

Do the things that keep a smile on her face
Make sure to do things that make her happy and keep her smiling.

Say the words that make her feel better ev'ry day
Use kind and encouraging words to make her feel good about herself on a daily basis.

You bet you better keep on you Ps and Qs
Be on your best behavior and make sure to not do anything that could upset her.

If you don't the woman you can easily lose
If you're not careful, you could lose her and end up regretting your actions.

Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it
I lost my true love because I didn't treat her the way she deserved.

No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me
It hurts me deeply that no one acknowledges the pain I feel from losing her.

Woman's got to have it
Women have certain needs that have to be fulfilled.

I believe that I should know
I think I understand what women need in a relationship.

She's got to know that she's needed around
It's important to show her that you appreciate and need her in your life.

When you kiss her
Even small actions like kissing her should be done with sincerity and passion.

You got to make her feel it everyday, boy
Show her that you love her and that you feel lucky to have her in your life every single day.

She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground
Make sure she feels secure in the relationship and that she can always rely on you.

Think it over
Take some time to reflect on how you treat your woman and whether or not you're meeting her needs.

Don't take for granted the smile upon her face
Appreciate the happiness she brings to your life and don't overlook it.

Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Pay attention to her emotions and look for any signs of sadness or distress.

Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word
She might not express her feelings, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

But she's got to know that her voice is heard
Even if she doesn't speak up, make sure she knows that her thoughts and opinions matter.

So if you've got a love
If you're lucky enough to have found love,

And maybe you've got eyes to keep her
And you want to keep her around for the long haul,

You've got to give her what she wants when she wants it
Make sure to prioritize her needs and make her feel valued.

Where she wants it (all right)
Make an effort to go out of your way to meet her needs and preferences.

How she wants it
Listen to her wants and needs and make an effort to fulfill them in the way that she desires.

And every doggone time she thinks she needs it
Don't hesitate to meet her needs whenever she expresses them.

Your woman needs it
It's important to recognize that your woman has specific needs that need to be met.

The same as mine
Just as my woman has certain needs, so does yours.

From time to time
Remember to consistently meet her needs and show her that you care.
