Written by Marty Stuart 



When she needs a friend

Then you'd better hold her

If she starts to cry

Then offer her your shoulder

If the world comes crashin' down

And leaves her full of doubt

Take her in your arms

Now that's what love's about 

She needs to know you care

She needs to know you're there

If it takes crawling on your knees

To live up to your vows

No matter what it takes

We'll work it out somehow

Treat her like a lady

Now that's what love's about



She let me have her heart

I hope I never break it

She bared to me her soul

I could hardly take it

She gave me all she had



She said she could do without

Till the end of time

Now that's what love's about



She needs to know you're there

If it takes crawling on your knees

To live up to your vows

No matter what it takes

We'll work it out somehow

Treat her like a lady

Now that's what love's about
