Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman?

Sometimes others just say it better than I can. Bryan Adams, Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange certainly do in a tune entitled "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" Produced in 1995, it was featured on the soundtrack of the film, Don Juan DeMarco. It is also on the album 18 Til I Die. Below is the link to it on YouTube.

One part of the song I like is “and give her wings when she wants to fly.” Too often men think that love is capturing a woman and making her theirs, when quite the opposite is true. Your love should be something that is inviting rather than demanding. It should attract her, not surround her. Your love should give her freedom, not confinement.

The other line is “you gotta give her some faith.” If the way you treat her leaves her doubting your love, then there is little on which to base the love. This one goes both ways, too.

Anyway, enjoy the song.

Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly
And when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you 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
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
Do you know how she needs to be touched?
You gotta breath her
Really taste her
Till you can feel her in your blood
And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you 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
She needs somebody
To tell her that it’s going to last 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
You gotta treat her right
She’ll be there for you
Taking good care of you
You really gotta love your woman

And when you find yourself
Lying helpless in her arms
You know you 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
She needs somebody
To tell her that it’s gonna last together
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman
Tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman
You’ve got to tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman
