To really love a woman, let her hold you,
till you know how she needs to be touched
You've got to breathe her, really taste her
till you can feel her in your blood
And when you see your unborn children in her eyes
you know you really love a woman

You've got to
D#give her some faith, hold her tight, a little Gtenderness
Gyou've got to treat her right
DShe will be there for you taking good care of Gyou

You really gotta love your woman
