What Women Want

i know what these women want
they want sex
yeah, that's true, but
i know what these women want
they want money
yeah, that too, but
i know what these women want
i know what these women really want

i know what these women want
they want champagne and jewelry
and german cars
i know what these women want
they want roses by the dozen
wanna break your heart, but
i know what these women want
i know what these women really want

they want love
it's been a problem for a couple thousand years
can't seem to find it 'cause it always disappears
they want love
don't need no forgery, don't need no substitute
they need somebody honest, not just somebody that's cute
they want some affection
and some protection
that's what they want

i know what these women want
they wanna fight
we've got 'em pretty mad, boys
i know what these women want
they wanna lay down and die sometimes
'cause it hurts
i know what these women want
i know what these women really want

they want love
they want a lover, they don't want no little boy
don't wanna wind up bein' someone's broken toy
they want love
they want somebody they can maybe even trust
they've got a feeling
they're not asking all that much
some affection
and just a little protection
that's what they want

i think that's all they want
