A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)
Ray Parker Jr & Raydio

Do-do-do, do-do
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 make the mistake
Of thinkin' old fashioned (ooh, ooh)
Times have changed from yesterday
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 a 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
'Cos she will too
Ooooh
(Just like you do, hoo)
(Thinkin' that she don't, hoo-oooh)
(Just like you do, 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 be foolin' around
Soooo, you better take out some insurance
And be sure she won't
Give her that love, mmmm, yeah
(Just like you do, hoo)
That sweet, sweet love
She wants it
(Just like you)
'Cos she can fool around
(Just like you do, hoo)
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 thinkin'
That she don't
She can fool around (just like you, hoo)
A woman needs it just like you
