Woman Needs Love

Ray Parker, Jr.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Mmm-mmm-mmm



A woman needs love just like you do, hoo

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

She can fool around just like you do, hoo

Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants



Don't the mistake of thinkin' old fashioned [Ooh, ooh]

Times have changed from yesterday

But no longer will those old double standards [Ooh, 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 love just like you do, hoo

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

She can fool around just like you do, hoo

Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants



When her eyes are beggin' for affection [Ooh, ooh]

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

Don't try to give her that worn out excuse [Ooh, ooh]

About being 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 feelings hurt



Because she needs it, yeah [Just like you do, hoo]

A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah, just like you

And if you're smart, mmm, [Just like you do, hoo] you better stop foolin'

around, hey, hey

'Cause she will too, oh



Just like you do, hoo

Thinking that she don't, hoo, ooh

Just like you, hoo

Now an example to you



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, just like you do, hoo], she will fool around so

You better take out some insurance and be sure she won't



Give her the love, mmm [Just like you do, hoo], yeah

That sweet, sweet love, she wants it just like you

'Cause she can fool around [Just like you do, hoo] just like she wi
