What you need is a real
Real woman tonight

A real woman tonight
Someone that does you right
Keeps you awake at night now honey
A real woman tonight

Real woman tonight
One that holds you tight
Don't you put up a fight now honey
A real woman tonight

You don't know what's good for you
And all the girls you had, just had no clue
You need a woman by your side
Who can turn on both your body and mind
Someone who gives you what you really need
After tonight you're gonna beg me please

What you need is a real
Real woman tonight

A real woman tonight
Someone that does you right
Keeps you awake at night now honey
A real woman tonight

Real woman tonight
One that holds you tight
Don't you put up a fight now honey
A real woman tonight

What a shame you wasted time
Make it up and tell me all the right lines
You want a lover who's in control
And not afraid to love you body and soul
Someone who gives you what you really need
After tonight you're gonna beg me please

What you need is a real
Real woman tonight

A real woman tonight
Someone that does you right
Keeps you awake at night now honey
A real woman tonight

A real woman tonight
One that holds you tight
Don't you put up a fight now honey
A real woman tonight
