Woman's Gotta Have It Lyrics - In The Pocket - James Taylor

Once upon a time a good friend of mine 

Told me to tell y'all what I say today 

Do the things that keep a smile on her face 

Say the words that make her feel better ev'ry day 

You bet you better keep on you Ps and Qs 

If you don't the woman you can easily lose 

Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it 

No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me 

Woman's got to have it 

I believe that I should know 

She's got to know that she's that she's needed around 

When you kiss her 

You got to make her feel it everyday, boy 

She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground 

Think it over 

Don't take for granted the smile upon her face 

Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace 

Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word 

But she's got to know that her voice is heard 

Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it 

Now I'm suffering all this pain that the true love cost me 

A woman's got to have it 

I believe 

She's got to know that she's that she's needed around 

When you kiss her 

You got to let her feel it everyday, boy 

She's got to know that she's not walking on shaky ground 

So if you've got a love 

And maybe you've got eyes to keep her 

You've got to give her what she wants when she wants it 

Where she wants it (all right) 

How she wants it 

And every doggone time she thinks she needs it 

Your woman needs it 

The same as mine 

A woman got to have it 

From time to time
