Woman
Womack & Womack Lyrics

Fellas, I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya a minute?
May I have your attention, gentlemen? I would like to discuss something with you.

You know, sometimes we have our tendencies
We men have certain habits that we tend to fall back on.

Or should I say we forget
Perhaps I should say that we often forget.

What a woman needs every now and then
It's important to remember what a woman needs once in a while.

That is, if you wanna keep your thing together (yeah yeah yeah)
If you want to maintain a happy relationship, that is.

Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Do things that make her happy and bring a smile to her face.

Say the things that make her feel better everyday
Speak kindly to her and lift her up with positive words on a daily basis.

Then you got to stay on your Ps and Qs
Be on your best behavior and stay attentive to her needs.

If you don't, the woman you can easily lose
If you don't treat her right, you run the risk of losing her.

Oh, I thought I had her love and I lost her
I once had her love, but I lost her.

And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
The pain she caused me is something that I must bear alone.

Oh, a woman's gotta have it
It's crucial for a woman to have what she needs in a relationship.

I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
She needs to feel valued and necessary in the relationship.

When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
When you give her affection, it should be a genuine and passionate expression of love.

Every time boy
This should happen every single time, no exceptions.

She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground
She needs to feel secure and confident in the relationship.

Well, think it over (over)
It's important to take a moment and really consider these things.

Don't take for granted the smile on her face
Don't assume that everything is fine just because she seems happy.

Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Take a closer look, because there may be underlying emotions that she's not expressing.

Maybe the girl might never say a mumbling word
She may not vocalize her needs, but it's still important to be attentive.

But you've gotta make sure that her voice is heard
Her needs and feelings must be acknowledged, even if she doesn't always express them out loud.

Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it
I once had a genuine love that I lost.

I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me
I'm still feeling the pain of losing that love.

You got to give it to her (everyday)
You need to consistently show her love and affection.

She wanna know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground
She must feel secure and confident in the relationship.

So if you've got a love (love)
If you have a romantic partner in your life.

And you wanna keep her (keep her)
If you want to maintain a happy and healthy relationship with her.

You've got to give her what she wants, when she wants it
You must be attentive to her needs and fulfill them in a timely and considerate manner.

Where she wants it
In the way that she needs and desires it.

And how she wants it (oh yeah)
You need to know what she likes and tailor your actions to her preferences.

Every doggone time she feels she needs it
Take care of her needs every single time she expresses them.

What I'm tryin' to say (what you tryna say boy?)
The point I'm trying to make is...

A woman's gotta have it
Women must have their needs met in order to feel happy and secure in a relationship.

Hey, hey, hey, a woman's gotta have it
Reiterating the importance of fulfilling a woman's needs in a relationship.

If you wanna keep the girl around
If you want to maintain your relationship with your partner.
