When You Really Love Someone - Alicia Keys

I'm a woman

Lord knows it's hard

I need a real man

To give me what I need, uh

Sweet attention

Love and tenderness

When it's real, it's unconditional

I'm tellin' 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 feelin' low

He's givin you his last

'Cause he's thinkin' of you first

Givin' comfort when he's thinkin' that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm tellin' y'all, I'm tellin' 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, it's unconditional

I'm tellin' 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, oh

When the world got you feelin' low

She's givin' you her best

Even when you're at your worst

Givin' comfort when she's thinkin' that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm tellin' y'all, I'm tellin' y'all

Sometimes you wanna argue, sometimes you wanna fight

Sometimes it's gonna feel like it'll never be right

But something so strong keeps you holding on

It don't make sense, but it make 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 you when you're strong)

Take you higher

When the world got you feelin' low

He's givin' you his last

'Cause he's thinkin' of you first

Givin' comfort when he's thinkin' that you're hurt

Oh, that's what's done when you really love someone

I'm tellin' y'all, I'm tellin' y'all

I'm tellin' y'all that 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 (And higher)

When the world got you feelin' low

She's givin' you her best

Even when you're at your worst

Givin' comfort when she's thinkin' that you're hurt

That's what's done when you really love someone

I'm tellin' y'all, I'm tellin' y'all

Hmm, hmm, yeah

Hmm, hmm, yeah

Hmm, hmm, yeah

Hmm, hmm, yeah

Hmm, hmm, yeah
