[Hook]
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige (Beyoncé)]
A woman, she needs more than material things
And a woman needs so much more that what a man can say
(A woman, needs you to make love to her, she needs more than sex
A real woman needs a real man that don't talk about it
Be about it
Put that work, and still shows his woman real romance)

[Hook]
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Verse 2: Beyoncé (Mary J. Blige)]
A woman, she likes to talk and work it out
And a woman likes for you to watch her back
Protect her crown
(A woman don't only want your make-up sex
She wants your respect
And a real woman never wanna walk into a room
See another woman knowing information
She don't even know about her man)

[Hook]
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Verse 3: Beyoncé (Mary J. Blige)]
Make your way home at a decent hour every night
(Pick up your phone
Just to say you're still in love from time to time
Remind her that she's still beautiful in your eyes
And ride with your woman
Make her feel that you're always on her side
When she cries, ask her what she's feeling
Let her know you sympathize)

[Bridge: Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige]
Gotta swallow your pride
Got some making up to do, gotta make it right
Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Gotta take you time
I said kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Say it one more time, say it one more time
Kiss her real slow and get down and blow her mind
Gotta take your time
Don't want a minute man
We wanna have fun until she finish man
If that's asking to much
You'll never know how to really
Love a woman

[Hook]
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I think it's still some things you need to know
So you think you know how to love a woman?
Well, I feel it's still some things you need to know, (things you need to know)

[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
Ohhh
You think you know how to love a woman?
Ohh no...no

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
