James Taylor - Woman's Gotta Have It lyrics

Once upon a time a good friend of mine
Told me to tell y'all what I say today
Do the things that keep a smile on her face
Say the words that make her
Feel better every day
You bet you better keep on you P's and Q's
If you don't the woman, you can easily lose

Oh, I had a love a true love and I lost it
No one seems to understand
About the pain that it cost me

Woman's got to have it I
Believe that I should know
She's got to know that
That she's needed around
When you kiss her you got to
Make her feel it everyday, boy
She's got to know that she's
Not walking on shaky ground (Think it over)

Don't take for granted the
Smile upon her face
Check a little bit closer
You might find a tear trace
Maybe the little girl never
Said a mumbling word
But she's got to know that her voice is heard

Oh, I had a love
It was a true love and I lost it
Now I'm suffering all this pain
That the true love cost me

Woman's got to have it, I believe
She's got to know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you got to
Make her feel it everyday, boy whoa
She's got to know that she's not
Walking on shaky ground yeah

So if you've got a love
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, all right
How she wants it and every doggone 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
Woman got to have it oh whoa
Woman got to have it, oh yes she does
Yes she does woman got to have it whoa whoa
Woman got to have it, that's what I say
Woman got to have it
