A woman needs love
Just like you do

Don't kid yourself
Into thinking that she don't

She can fool around
Just like do, oh
Unless you give her
All the lovin' she wants

Don't make the mistake
Of thinking old fashioned
Times have changed
From yesterday
No longer will
Those old double standards
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 love
Just like you do
Hey, don't kid yourself
Into thinkin' that she don't
She can fool around
Just like you do
Unless you give her
All the lovin' she wants

When her eyes are begging for affection
Don't put her off
Don't make her wait
And don't try to give her
That worn out excuse
About being tired
And working 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
A woman's got to have it
Oh, yeah
Just like you
And if you're smart, oh
You'd better stop foolin' around
Hey, hey, 'cause she will too

Oh, just like you do
Thinkin that she don't
Oh huh
Just like you do

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
Hey, don't kid yourself
Into thinkin that she don't
She can fool around
She will fool around, so
You better take out some insurance
And be sure she won't
