    I''m a woman, lord knows it''s hard

    I need a real man to give me what I need

    Sweet attention, love and tenderness

    When it''s real it''s unconditional, I''m telling y''all



    [Chorus:]



    Cause a man, just ain''t a man,

    If he aint'' man enough

    To love you when you''re right,

    Love you when you''re wrong

    Love you when you''re weak,

    Love you when you''re strong

    Take you higher

    When the world got you feelin low.

    He''s given you his last, cuz he''s thinking of you first

    Given comfort when you''re thinking that you''re hurt

    That''s what''s done when you really love someone

    I''m telling y''all, I''m telling y''all.

    Cause you''re a real man and lord knows it''s hard

    Sometimes you just need a woman''s touch

    Sweet affection, love and support

    When it''s real, it''s unconditional, I''m telling y''all



    [Chorus:]



    Oh cause a woman ain''t a woman if she ain''t woman enough

    To love you when you''re right

    Love you when you''re wrong

    Love you when you''re weak,

    Love you when you''re strong

    Take you higher

    When the world got you feelin low.

    She''s giving you her best, even when you''re at your worst

    Givin comfort, when she''s thinking that you''re hurt

    That''s what''s done, when you really love someone

    I''m telling y''all

    Whooo

    Whooo

    Whooo

    Whooo

    Whooo

    Whooo

    Sometimes you gonna argue

    Sometimes you gonna fight

    Sometimes it''s gonna feel like it will never be right

    But something so strong, keeps you holdin on

    It don''t make sense, but it make a good song

    Cause a man, just ain''t a man,

    If he ain''t man enough

    To love you when you''re right,

    Love you when you''re wrong

    Love you when you''re weak,

    Love you when you''re strong

    Take you higher

    When the world got you feelin low

    He''s given you his last, cuz he''s thinking of you first

    Given comfort when you''re thinking that you''re hurt

    That''s what''s done when you really love someone

    I''m telling y''all, I''m telling y''all, I''m telling y''all

    That a woman ain''t a woman if she ain''t woman enough

    To love you when you''re right

    Love you when you''re wrong

    Love you when you''re weak,

    Love you when you''re strong

    Take you higher and higher

    When the world got you feelin low.

    She''s giving you her best, even when you''re at your worst

    Givin comfort, when she''s thinking that you''re hurt

    That''s what''s done, when you really love someone

    I''m telling y''all

    I''m telling y''all
