You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I’m worth it

Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby, you know I’m worth it

Wanna please
Wanna keep
Wanna treat your woman right

Not just dough
Better show
That you know she is worth your time

You will lose
If you choose
To refuse
To put her first

She will
and she can
Find a man who knows her worth

Chorus
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always calls first
And a real man just can’t deny
A woman's worth

If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it

If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold it down when shit gets rough
Cuz baby, I know you’re worth it

She walks the mile
Makes you smile
All the while
Bein' true

Don't take for granted
The passions that she has for you

You will lose
If you choose
To refuse
To put her first

She will
And she can
Find a man who knows her worth

Oooooh

Chorus

No need to read between the lines spelled out for you
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong when you value
A woman's (woman's, woman's, woman's) worth

Chorus x2

    General Comment:Well i'm a guy and i love the song. Alicia Keys' music is the real stuff. Its hard to find this kind of music nowadays.
    there are some guys out there who try to treat their women right. the other guys who like to degrade women and not treat women right need to be smacked. hard.

    General Comment:This song is beautiful. It epitomises what a loving relationship is worth… and what you shouldn’t settle for. Noone is worth your time if they mess you around. Leaving you in the balance, unsure of what is going on, If anything.
    The statement ‘’ Baby, you know I’m worth it’’ is the best thing anyone could ever wish for. At that point in time, where the revelation comes that they are worth it is the best moment of your life.

    What Alicia sings about here is what every woman needs at least one point in her life. To be held in a way that noone else could, to look into their eyes, to laugh together. Alicia describes the situations that a woman needs to feel this towards someone. Making love tenderly is a trillion times different than making love. The tenderness makes us believe that it is so real.
    Any men, learn by this song. Any women, don’t accept anything less than this song.

    General Comment:My girl Alicia is telling the truth- and for all yall fellaz who just wont stop gaming- you might just want to listen to this one twice, before you lose a good thing.
    And I quote a young Michael Jackson:

    "Stop! The love you save may be your own..."

    *Alicia Keys for life*

    General Comment:This song is saying that if a man doesn`t treat his woman right, the woman will not put up with that bullshit and go find someone else who will. Love and respect should be mutual. Good song.
