Woman's Gotta Have It

(album: Understanding - 1972)

Fellas 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 Ps and Qs
If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, 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
Every time boy,
She wants to know that she's not walking on shaky ground

Oh, 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 a mumbling word
But you gotta make sure that her voice is heard

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, 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
Every time boy
She wants to know that she's not walking on shaky ground

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 trying to say
A woman gotta have it
Hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it
