A Woman Needs Love

(album: R&B Classics: We Are Family - 2006)

A woman needs a love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the loving she wants

Don't make the mistake of thinking old fashioned
Times have changed from yesterday
No longer will those old double standards
Be accepted by the women of today

So when you think you're fooling her
She just might be fooling you
Remember if you can do it
She can too

Because a woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the loving she wants

When her eyes are begging for affection
Don't put her off, don't make her wait
Don't try to give her that worn out excuse
About being tired and working late

I tell you one day you'll come home early from work
Open up the door and get your feelings hurt

Because she needs it
A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah, just like you
And if you're smart, you better stop fooling around, hey, hey
Cause she will too

A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
Just like you, hoo
Now an example to you

Is by the time poor Jack
Returned up the hill
Somebody else
Had been loving Jill

A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
She can fool around, she will fool around
You better take out some insurance and be sure she won't

Give her the love, mmm
That sweet, sweet love, she wants it just like you
Cause she can fool around just like she will fool around
With you or without you, just like you do
