Alicia Keys — When You Really Love Someone

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 2] '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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] '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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Hmm, hmm, yeah Hmm, hmm, yeah Hmm, hmm, yeah Hmm, hmm, yeah Hmm, hmm, yeah
