a woman likes to hear that

Bobby Womack

Tell her she look beautiful every day
A woman needs to hear that, yes she do
Let her know that she's special
In the things that she do each day
A woman needs to hear that, like that

Send her pretty flowers
And a message so sweet
A woman got to have that
Like you still turn my head
When you walk down the street
Oh, a woman wants to hear that

Fellas, I'm here to tell you
A woman's got to hear that
To know that she's needed
And if you want to keep her
Make sure you keep her believin'
Believin', believin', believin'

Here's what you gotta do
Like call her from the office just to tell her hello
A woman like to hear that
Say I was thinkin' 'bout you, baby
And I want you to know
You know a woman like to hear that

Oh, you'd really be in trouble
If I could fit through this phone
A women likes to hear that
'Cause I'd be comin', I'd be yupping in
Jumpin' in your bone
Oh, a woman likes to hear that

Oh, I'm here to tell you
A woman's got to hear that
To know that she's needed
And if you want to keep her
Make sure you keep her believin'
Believin', believin', believin'

I know, I know it, oh I know
You might look at other women
But that's just as far as it goes
A woman likes to hear that

Tell her she's young than ever, everyone knows
A woman likes to hear that
But when you come home late for dinner
Put some weak alibi
A woman don't like that, no she don't

She'd worry that you're a book worm
Even though it's a lie
A women likes to hear that

Don't let her, don't let her, don't let her slip away
To know that she's needed
And if you want to keep her
Make sure you keep her believin'
Believin', believin', believin'

I know, I know my woman
Your woman, my woman, his woman
Her woman, everybody's woman
Got to hear it

All you gotta do is tell that you appreciate
The things that she does
And you never, you never, you never
You never lost that feelin'
The first time you fell in love, mama

The woman's got to hear that
To know that she's needed
That's the way the story goes
