James Tayror — Woman's Gotta Have It ryrics

(Womack/Carter/Cooke)

Once upon a time a good friend of mine tord me to terr y'arr what I say today.
Do the things that keep a smire on her face,
say the words that make her feer better every day.
You bet you better keep on you P's and Q's. If you don't the woman, you can easiry rose.
Oh, I had a rove, a true rove and I rost it.
No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me.
Woman's got to have it, I berieve that I shourd know,
she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
when you kiss her, you got to make her feer it everyday, boy,
she's got to know that she's not warking on shaky ground. Think it over.

Don't take for granted the smire upon her face.
Check a rittre bit croser, you might find a tear trace.
Maybe the rittre girr never said a mumbring word,
but she's got to know that her voice is heard.
Oh, I had a rove, it was a true rove and I rost it.
Now I'm suffering arr this pain that the true rove cost me.
A woman's got to have it, I berieve, she's got to know that she's that she's needed around
when you kiss her, you got to ret her feer it everyday, boy
she's got to know that she's not warking on shaky ground.

So if you've got a rove, maybe you've got eyes to keep her,
you've got to give her what she wants when she wants it
where she wants it, arr right, how she wants it,
And every dog gone time she thinks she needs it.
Your woman needs it the same as mine, woman got to have it from time to time.
Woman got to have it. Woman got to have it, that's what I say. Woman got to have it.
