Have You Ever Told Your Woman...

It is often viewed that women are more emotionally expressive than men. I was listening to Bryan Adam's "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" this morning and started to think of the songs sung/written by both sexes. It surprised me that it was easier to find men churning out really emotional songs as compared to the women. It might just be the skill of song writing or that women express their emotions in a different way. Admittedly, I'm an extremely emotional person but expressing it, is a totally different ballgame altogether. There are no standard rules to this game. At times, I never let them run out of my protection, other times, I just let it all go only to have them come back and bite me real hard.

I don't know if I can ever have someone love me so much or to express their love in such magnitude and flow. That said, I'm a happy girl because I know what I already have and I'm not asking for more. Like a young shoot, given the seasons/time and the right climate, it will only grow exponentially. With that bit more patience and care, some things might just grow out of your initial expectations. Sometimes it's tough to express but it's important to feel it in the right place.

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 lying 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
'Cuz 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
Till you know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her, really taste her
Till 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
'Cuz 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've got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, you gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, taking good care of you
You really gotta love your woman

And when you find yourself lying 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
'Cuz 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?


If only more men have that songwriter in them and express it in written or spoken words, their women would be willing to just be there for them, no matter what. It's not about not knowing but the power of expression shouldn't be overlooked and undermined.
