Bobby Womack: Woman's Gotta Have It

(Fella's I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute. You know, sometimes we have the tendency, or should I say we forget, what a woman needs every now and then. That is if you wanna keep your thing together. Listen to me now)

Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better everyday.
Then you got to stay on your p's and q's. If you don't, the woman you can easily lose.

Whoa oa oa I, Oh I had a love and I lost her, and no one can help me share the pain that she caused me. Ohhh, a woman's gotta have it, I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around. When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, everytime boy, she wants to know that she's not walkin' on shakey ground. Ohhhh, yeah. Well, think it over. Think it over my brother. Don't take for granted the smile on her face. Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace. Maybe the girl might never say another word, but you gotta make sure that her voice is heard.

Whoa Ohhh Ohhh I, had a love, a true love and I lost it, I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me. A woman gotta have it, you got to give it to her, she's got to know that she's needed around, when you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, she wanna know that she's not walkin' on shakey ground. Yeah.

So if you've got a love, and you wanna keep her, you got to give her what she wants when she wants it, where she wants it, and how she wants it. Every doggone time she feels she needs it. What I'm tryin' to say, a woman gotta have it. hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it. Fade
