a woman needs love (just like you do)

Singer:ray parker jr.

doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

mmm-mmm-mmm

a woman needs a 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

times have changed from yesterday

but no longer will those old double standards

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

don't put her off

don't make her wait

don't try to give her that worn out excuse

about being tired and workin' late

i tell you one day you'll come home early from work

open up the door and get your feelings hurt

because she needs it

yeah

a woman's got to have it

whoa

yeah

just like you

and if you're smart

mmm

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

she will fool around so

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

give her the love

mmm

yeah

that sweet

sweet love

she wants it just like you

cause she can fool around just like she will fool around

with you or without you

just like you do

a woman needs love just like you do

hoo

hey

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

hoo

ooh

she can fool around just like you

hoo

a woman needs it just like you
