A Woman’s Worth

BY ALICIA KEYS

[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) [Pre-Chorus]

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat your woman right

Not just dough, but to show that you know she is worth your time

You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first

She will and she can find a man who knows her worth

Mm-mmm [Chorus] ‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her (When he sees her) And a real woman knows a real man ain’t ‘fraid to please her (Please her) And a real woman knows a real man always comes first (First) And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth (A woman’s worth) [Post-Chorus] Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm (Uh, hold up) [Verse 2] 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)

If you never play me, promise not to bluff

I’ll hold you down when shit gets rough (‘Cause baby, I know you’re worth it) [Pre-Chorus]

She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true

Don’t take for granted the passions that she has for you

You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first

She will and she can find a man who knows her worth Ohh [Chorus] [Bridge]

No need to read between the lines spelled out for you (Spelled out for you) Just hear this song ‘cause you can’t go wrong when you value (Better value) A woman’s (Sing it) woman’s, woman’s, woman’s worth

Yeah [Chorus 2 times]

[Outro]

Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Do-ooh) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Sibba-dibba, do-do) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Do-do-do-di-di-di-di) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Ooh) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Cherish that woman)

Mm-hm, mm-hmm (It better be good for that woman)

Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uhuh)

Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Ooh, yeah)
