To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz 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?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
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
Ya really gotta love your woman...

    General Comment:To really love a woman
    Let her hold you till you know how she needs to be touched
    You gotta breathe her, really taste her, till you can feel her in your blood

    How, so, does she need to be touched?

    How to breathe her?

    How to taste her?

    How is she felt in the blood?

    General Comment:This song is about when you love a woman, you don't treat her like crap and call her bad names and do things to make her jealous. And as long as you love her she'll take care of you and love you back.

    General Comment:"and when you can see your unborn children in her eyes, you know you really love a woman."

    Never heard a line like that in any song.
    And I'm not even the romantic type...but it is quite amazing that lyric.

    General Comment:Byran Adams must have really loved a woman to write such passionate lyrics.

    "N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
    Ya know ya really love a woman"

    I had a guy who I really loved say this to me once and it forever changed me.I never felt like that about anyone..and even thou we are not together nemore,that will always remain with me.

    Guys take note!

    General Comment:its a great song, and it quite relates to everyone...

    what most people dont get is that love is not SEX!

    its about two people understand and respecting each other, and bryan adams explains its so beautifully,

    i know this girl for a long time now, who feels so overprotected,

    i dont know but i just wish if i got a chance to understand her, tell her how much i love her :]........

    General Comment:This song is one of my favorites! Every lyric is absolutely true! Apparently Bryan Adams has loved a woman, to be able to write a song as true and beautiful as this.
    Every lyric of this song is breathtaking but there are 2 in particular that give me the goosebumps:
    "and when you can see your unborn children in her eyes"
    And
    "Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms".
    Those 2 lyrics even get to my boyfriend, when we listen to the song together. Absolutely amazing.
