Once upon a time a good friend of mine told me to tell y'all what I say today.
|
Do the things that keep a smile on her face,
|
say the words that make her feel better every day.
|
You bet you better keep on you P's and Q's. If you don't the woman, you can easily lose.
|
Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it.
|
No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me.
|
Woman's got to have it, I believe that I should know,
|
she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
|
when you kiss her, you got to make her feel it everyday, boy,
|
she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground. Think it over.
|
|
Don't take for granted the smile upon her face.
|
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace.
|
Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word,
|
but she's got to know that her voice is heard.
|
Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it.
|
Now I'm suffering all this pain that the true love cost me.
|
A woman's got to have it, I believe, she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
|
when you kiss her, you got to let her feel it everyday, boy
|
she's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground.
|
|
So if you've got a love, maybe you've got eyes to keep her,
|
you've got to give her what she wants when she wants it
|
where she wants it, all right, how she wants it,
|
And every dog gone time she thinks she needs it.
|
Your woman needs it the same as mine, woman got to have it from time to time.
|
Woman got to have it. Woman got to have it, that's what I say. Woman got to have it.
