A woman needs love (just like you do hoo)
Don't kid yourself into (thinkin' that she don't)
She can fool around (just like you do hoo)
Unless you give her all the (lovin' she wants)
Don't make the mistake
Of thinkin' old fashioned (ooh, ooh)
Times have changed from yesterday
No longer will
Those old double standards (ooh, ooh)
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 hoo)
Unless you give her all the (lovin' she wants)
When her eyes
Are beggin' for affection (ooh, ooh)
Don't put her off, don't make her wait
Don't try to give her
That worn out excuse (ooh, ooh)
About being tired and workin' 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 hoo)
A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah (just like you)
And if you're smart, mmm (just like you do hoo)
Just stop foolin' around, hey, hey ('cos she will too)
Oh, oh
(Just like you do hoo)
(Thinkin' that she don't, hoo-ooo)
(Just like you do hoo)
Now an example to you
Is by the time poor Jack
Returned up the hill
Somebody else had been lo - vin' Jill
A woman needs love (just like you do hey)
Don't kid yourself into (thinkin' that she don't)
She can fool around, yeah-eah (just like you do hoo)
You better take out some insurance (and be sure she won't)
Give her that love, mmmm, yeah (just like you do hoo)
That sweet, sweet love, she wants it (just like you)
'Cos she can fool around (just like you do hoo)
{She will fool around}
With you or without you (just like you do)
A woman needs love (just like you do hoo)
Don't kid yourself into (thinkin' that she don't)
She can fool around (just like you do hoo)
Unless you give her all the (lovin' she wants)
