                  Em
You could buy me diamonds
                  Bm7
You could buy me pearls
              Am7
Take me on a cruise around the world
 Bm7
Baby, you know I'm worth it
              Em
Dinner lit by candles
               Bm7
Run my bubble bath
          Am7
Make love tenderly to last, and last
Bm7
Baby, you know I'm worth it

          Am           G            D/F#
Wanna' please; wanna' keep; wanna' treat your
 Em    D
woman right?
          Am            G             D/F#
Not just told, but to show, that she knows she's
Em          D
worth your time
          Am            G          D/F#
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to
 Em      D
put her first
     B7
She will and she can find
a man who knows her worth!

Chorus:
         Em
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
 Bm7
sees her (when he sees her)
       Am7
And a real woman knows a real man
Bm7
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please her)
       Em
And a real woman knows a real man always
 Bm7
comes first (first)
       Am7
And a real man just can't deny
Bm7
A woman's worth

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)

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:
'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 me)
And a real woman knows a real man always
comes first (First, baby)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

   Am7               Bm7
No need to read in between the lines

Spell it out   for  you (spell it out for you)
     Am7
Just hear this song
            Bm7                 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
'Cause you can't go wrong when you value
(Better value...)
   B7
A woman's, woman's, woman's, woman's Worth! (yeah)

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 me)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes
first (First, baby)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
(A woman's worth)
'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he
sees her (Nothing like a woman's worth)
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid
to please her (Ooh-ooh)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes
first (Comes first)
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
(Woman's worth)
