this song is dedicated to ashley pelletier. because we sung it in the car tonight.

To really love a woman, understand her -you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly

When you love a woman
Tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman, tell her that she’s the one
'Cause she needs somebody to tell her
That it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
You really gotta love your woman...

Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
