A Woman’s Worth (Live) (Unplugged Live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, NY - July 2005) Songtext
von Alicia Keys

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)

Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough, better show that you know she′s worth your time (that's right, that's right)
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first (that′s right)
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth

(′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 'fraid 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 (break it down)

Oh-oh, oh-oh (na-na-na-na-na-na)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (mm-hm)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh (let's do it like this, come on)


If you treat me fairly (fairly)
I′ll give you all my goods (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 (play me)
Now don′t you bluff (don't you bluff)
I′ll hold you down when shit gets rough
('Cause, baby, I know you′re worth it)

She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true (yeah, yeah)
Don't take for granted the passion that 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, ooh-whoa

′Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't ′fraid 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

Yeah, someone who know
Do I have some, do I have some real man
Out in there, out in the audience tonight?
Hey, don't be ashamed, you know what I mean
You gotta give it up, if you are real then you′re real
Someone who know, do I have some real woman in this audience tonight?
Hey, yeah, now I have another question for you
I wanna know, you all think that you wanna hear something new
(Yeah)
Let's flip it around on the horns
