all women want is for their lover to know what they need
without them have to ask, and without them having to tell
oh, and yes, for you to do it, too, that’s the other part of it
they want men to know what to them seems obvious
but you men, you can’t do what they want even when they tell
you what they need, point blank, and there’s no guessing game
which, you know, when they tell you, you’ve lost half the battle
but the least you could do is make it up in the second half
it’s the least you could do to tell them you love them
and hold them and be their knight in shining armor
they know you’re not riding up on a white horse coming
to sweep them off their feet and ride off into the sunset
but throw them this bone every once in a while, give them
the scraps from your plate under the table, just a little something
they’re yelping under the table hoping you understand their pleas
they’re shivering in the dog house when they should be by your side
because they’re starving over here, and it seems that only you
can give them what they need, much less what they want
it’s simple, really: they need attention, they desperately need it
and they’re tired of asking, because they shouldn’t have to ask
this is the key to understanding what women want, so please
do something with this knowledge and save the one you love
