Bobby Womack - Woman's Gotta Have It lyrics

[Intro] Fellas, I wanna mind your manner if you talk to me for a minute You know, sometimes we have our tendencies, 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 [Verse 1] Do the things that keeps a smile on her face Say the things that make her feel better every day Man you got to stay on your P's and Q's If you don't the woman, you can easily lose Oh, I had a love and I lost her And no one can help me share the pain that it cost me [Hook] A woman's got to have it, I believe She's got to know that she's needed around When you kiss her, you got to make her feel it, every time, boy She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground Think it over Think it over my brother [Verse 2] 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 know that her voice is heard Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it I'm suffering all this pain that that love cost me [Hook] A woman's got to have it, you've 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's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground [Outro] So if you've got a love And you wanna keep her You've 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 tryna say's a woman's gotta have it A woman's gotta have it
