I thought I would lighten it up a little bit with a great song by Bryan Adams, titled "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman"! Now this is a really good song in many ways... What do you think?
Background Information:
About Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
"Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" is a song written by Bryan Adams, Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and recorded by Adams for the film Don Juan DeMarco. The melody is used as a musical motif throughout the film, and the song is featured three times in the movie, twice performed by other artists in Spanish, and finally performed by Adams himself during the closing credits. The Adams version of the song, which features flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia, is featured on the soundtrack album and also on the album 18 til I Die, which was released over a year later. The song stayed at number one for five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, making it the third number-one song for the songwriting team. It also went to number one in Canada (five weeks), Australia (one week), Austria (one week) and Switzerland (two weeks) while reaching the top five in eight additional countries, including France and the United Kingdom, and the top ten in a further four countries. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 68th Academy Awards but lost to "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas.
LYRICS:
To really love a woman
To understand her, you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
And give her wings, when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless, in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman
Let her hold you, til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her, really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
You got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
You really gotta love your woman
And when you find yourself lyin' helpless, in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one
Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
Written by: Bryan Adams, Michael Kamen, Robert Lange
