A Woman’s Gotta Have It

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)
A woman's gotta have it (a woman's gotta have it)
