Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Low, Smoky Baritone]
You can put groceries in her kitchen
Keep the lights on every month
But if you never touch her gently
She’ll still feel like she has nothing
You can buy that woman dresses
Put gold around her wrist
But jewelry cannot answer
For the tenderness you missed
She needs to hear you notice
When she changes something small
Needs your hand against her lower back
Before she has to ask at all
[Chorus — Warm Chest-Voice Rise]
A woman needs to know
She still turns her man around
That he sees her when she enters
Even when nobody else is around
She needs more than obligation
More than sleeping side by side
A woman needs to know
She is wanted, not just someone’s wife
[Verse 2 — Intimate Storytelling]
Don’t save your sweetest language
For the woman at your job
Then bring home tired silence
Like your lady asks too much
She remembers how you chased her
How you couldn’t stay away
Now she has to beg for one kiss
At the ending of the day
Sit down and let her tell you
What has settled on her heart
A listening man can save a love
Before it falls apart
[Chorus — Stronger Delivery]
A woman needs to know
She still turns her man around
That he sees her when she enters
Even when nobody else is around
She needs more than obligation
More than sleeping side by side
A woman needs to know
She is wanted, not just someone’s wife
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Plea]
Tell her she is beautiful
Before another man does
Hold her without reaching
For the reward of her love
Learn the weight behind her quiet
Learn the meaning in her eyes
A woman will keep giving
Till something tender in her dies
And when she stops complaining
Don’t assume that she found peace
Sometimes silence means her heart
Has started planning how to leave
[Final Chorus — Passionate Baritone Belt]
A woman needs to know
That her loving still has meaning
That the man who shares her bed
Still has a reason to believe in her
She needs warmth without requesting
Truth she never has to pry
A woman needs to know
She is cherished every day and every night
[Outro — Falsetto Touches]
Don’t wait till she stops reaching
Don’t wait till she closes the door
Give her the love you promised
Then give that woman something more
Hold her close
Speak it slow
Make sure your woman knows
