Alicia Keys | Lyrics | When You Really Love Someone

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

'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 feeling low

He's giving you his last, 'cause he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he'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

'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 its unconditional, I'm telling y'all, 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 feeling low

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

Sometimes you're gonna argue, sometimes you're gonna fight
Sometimes it's gonna feel like it'll never be right
But something so strong keeps you holdin' on
It don't make sense but it makes 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
Love when you when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low

He's giving you his last, 'cause he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he'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

I'm telling y'all that a woman ain't a woman if she ain't woman enough
To love ya
Love you when you're right
Love you when you're wrong
To hold ya
Love you when you're weak
Love you when you're strong
Take you higher and higher when the world got you feeling low

She's giving you her best, even when you're at your worse
Even when you're at your worst
Giving 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
I'm telling y'all, I'm telling y'all

Mm, mm, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah
...
