| To really love a woman
 | 
| To understand her — you gotta know her deep inside
 | 
| Hear every thought — see every dream
 | 
| N' give her wings — when she wants to fly
 | 
| Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
 | 
| You know you really love a woman
 | 
| Chorus:
 | 
| When you love a woman you tell her
 | 
| that she’s really wanted
 | 
| When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
 | 
| Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
 | 
| that it’s gonna last forever
 | 
| So tell me have you ever really
 | 
| — really really ever loved a woman?
 | 
| To really love a woman
 | 
| Let her hold you —
 | 
| til you know how she needs to be touched
 | 
| You’ve gotta breathe her — really taste her
 | 
| Til you can feel her in your blood
 | 
| N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
 | 
| You know you really love a woman
 | 
| Chorus:
 | 
| When you love a woman
 | 
| you tell her that she’s really wanted
 | 
| When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
 | 
| Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
 | 
| that you’ll always be together
 | 
| So tell me have you ever really —
 | 
| — really really ever loved a woman?
 | 
| You’ve got to give her some faith
 | 
| hold her tight
 | 
| a little tenderness
 | 
| you’ve gotta treat her right
 | 
| she will be there for you
 | 
| taking good care of you
 | 
| (you've really gotta love your woman) (yeah)
 | 
| Solo.
 | 
| And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
 | 
| You know you really love a woman
