  • Fellas, I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya a minute?
    You know, sometimes we have our tendencies
    Or should I say we forget
    What a woman needs every now and then
    That is, if you wanna keep your thing together (yeah yeah yeah)
    Listen to me now

    Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
    Say the things that make her feel better everyday
    Then you got to stay on your Ps and Qs
    If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

    Oh, I thought I had her love and I lost her
    And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
    Oh, a woman's gotta have it
    I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
    When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
    Every time boy
    She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground

    Oh, yeah
    Well, think it over (over)
    Think it over, my brother

    Don't take for granted the smile on her face
    Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
    Maybe the girl might never say a mumbling word
    But you've gotta make sure that her voice is heard

    Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it
    I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me
    Oh, a woman's gotta have it
    You got to give it to her (everyday)
    She's gotta know that she's needed around
    When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
    She wanna know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground
    Yeah, oh

    So if you've got a love (love)
    And you wanna keep her (keep her)
    You've got to give her what she wants, when she wants it
    Where she wants it
    And how she wants it (oh yeah)
    Every doggone time she feels she needs it
    What I'm tryin' to say (what you tryna say boy?)
    A woman's gotta have it
    Hey, hey, hey, a woman's gotta have it
    If you wanna keep the girl around Writer/s: Bobby Womack, Darryl Carter, Linda Cooke
