A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)

A woman needs a love (Just like you do, ooh)

Don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't

She can fool around (Just like you do, ooh)

Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants (Love she wants)

Don't make the mistake of thinkin' old-fashioned (Ooh)

Time's have changed from yesterday

And no longer will those old, double standards (Ooh)

Be accepted by the women of today

So when you think you're foolin' her

She just might be foolin' you

Remember, if you can do it, she can, too

Because a woman needs a love (Just like you do, ooh)

Hey, don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't

She can fool around (Just like you do, ooh)

Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants (Love she wants)

When her eyes are beggin' for affection (Ooh)

Don't put her off, don't make her wait

And don't try to give her that worn-out excuse (Ooh)

About bein' tired and workin' late

I tell you, one day you'll come home

Early from work (Home from work)

Open up the door, and get your feelin's hurt

Because she needs it, yeah (Just like you do, ooh)

A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah (Just like you)

And if you're smart, mm (Just like you do, ooh)

You better stop foolin' around, hey, hey

'Cause she will too, oh

(Just like you do, ooh)

(Thinkin' that she don't, ooh-ooh)

(Just like you do, ooh)

Now an example to you (Ooh)

Is by the time poor Jack

Returned up the hill

Somebody else had been lovin' Jill

A woman needs love (Just like you do, hoo)

Hey, don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't

She can fool around (Yeah)

She will fool around, so (Just like you do, ooh)

You better take out some insurance

And be sure she won't

Give her that love, yeah (Just like you do, ooh)

That sweet, sweet love, she wants it (Just like you)

'Cause she can fool around (Just like you do, ooh)

I tell you, she will fool around

With you or without you (Just like you do)

A woman needs love (Just like you do, ooh)

Hey, don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't (Ooh-ooh)

She can fool around (Just like you do, ooh)

A woman needs it (Just like you)
