Woman's Got to Have It - Bobby Womack

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 walkin' 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 walkin' 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 tryin' to say

A woman gotta have it

Hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it
