To really love a woman To understand her, you gotta know her deep inside Hear every thought, see every dream And give her wings, when she wants to fly Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless, in her arms You know you really love a woman When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman? To really love a woman Let her hold you, til ya know how she needs to be touched You've gotta breathe her, really taste her Til you can feel her in your blood And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes You know you really love a woman When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman? You got to give her some faith, hold her tight A little tenderness, gotta treat her right She will be there for you, takin' good care of you You really gotta love your woman And when you find yourself lyin' helpless, in her arms You know you really love a woman When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman? So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman? Just tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
