Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
Wanna please, wanna keep
Wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but is showed
That she knows she is worth your time
That's right, that's right
You will lose if you choose
To refuse to put her first
Uh, 'cause why?
She will and she can
Find a man who knows her worth
[Chorus]
'Cause a, 'cause a, 'cause a
'Cause a real man knows a real woman
When he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man
Always comes first
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth
[Bridge]
Break it down
Let's do it like this, come on
[Verse 2]
'Cause 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
And if you never play me
Now don't you bluff
I'll hold you down when ish gets rough
Baby, I know you're worth it
[PreChorus]
She walks the mile, make a smile
All the while, being true
Yeah, yeah, come on
Don't take for granted
The passion she has for you
What's that, what's that?
You will lose if you choose
To refuse to put her first
You better recognize it
She will and she can
Find a man who knows her worth
Woo
[Chorus]
'Cause a real man knows a real woman
When he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man
Always comes first
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth
[Outro]
Yeah
