Prince - A Woman's Gotta Have It lyrics

Performed by nona gaye Composed by b. womack, l. womack and d. carter Oh oh oh (a woman's gotta have it) (a woman's gotta have it) Do the things that keep a smile on her face Say the words that make her feel better every day U betcha better keep on your p's and q's If u don't, your woman u could easily lose Oh, i had love, a true love and i lost it And no one seems 2 understand about the pain that it cost me A woman's gotta have it, i believe She's got 2 know that she's needed around When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it She wants 2 know that she's not walking on shaky ground When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin' Make her know that she's needed around Don't take 4 granted the smile upon her face Check a little bit closer, u might find a tear trace Maybe the little girl never said a mufflin' word But she's got 2 know that her voice is heard Oh, i had love, a true love and i lost it And no one seems 2 understand about the pain that it cost me A woman's gotta have it, i believe that i should know She's got 2 know that she's needed around When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it She wants 2 know that she's not walking on shaky ground When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin' Make her know that she's needed around Oh, i had love, a true love and i lost it Now i'm sufferin' all this pain that the true love cost me A woman's gotta have it, i believe that i should know She's got 2 know that she's needed around When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it She wants 2 know that she's not walking on shaky ground When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin' Make her know that she's needed around A woman's gotta have it (a woman's gotta have it) {repeat to fade}
