A woman's worth.Alicia Keys

                                          "A Woman's Worth"


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 but to show that you know she is worth your time
 
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
 
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth
 

Mmm
 
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
 
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid 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
 

Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
 
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
 
Mm Hmm Mm Hmmm
 
Mm
 

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
 

Oh
 
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
 
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid 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
 

No need to read between the lines spelled out for you (spelled out for you)
 
Just hear this song cause you can't go wrong when you value (better value)
 
A woman's (woman's)
 
Woman's (woman's)
 
WORTH!
 
Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
 
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid 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

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Thinking I couldn't live without you by my side
And I've been spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you're back
From outer space
And I find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
Oh made you leave your key
If I've known for a second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that lonely little person who's still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expecting me to be free
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
Go on now, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd might crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
Go and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
Now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
Not that lonely little person who's still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expecting me to be free
but I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
Go on and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd might crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Sin miedo sentí de la soledad pensando que sería de mi cuando faltaras tú pero las noches que pasé pensando en tu traición me hicieron comprender que puedo estar sin tu calor mas no pensé que en tu maldad intentarías volver para tratar de hacerme mal .

 Acuérdate de mi pesar y nunca más poderte hablar y que si solo regresabas era para molestar .

 Vete de aquí no vuelvas más no te das cuenta que lo nuestro ya se terminó tu amor infiel hirió las fibras de mi ser crees que sufro, crees que muero por tu amor.
 Yo viviré, sobreviviré porque aún me queda mucha fe para encontrar a quien amar falta mucho por vivir tengo mucho que entregar sin tu querer puedo vivir “hey hey”. 

Sé que es duro para mí volver a empezar borrando tanto daño de mi pobre corazón pues muchas horas me pasé sintiendo lástima de mí. 

Supe llorar pero ya sé que puedo dar ya me verás que soy feliz.
 Un nuevo mundo de ilusión se ha abierto para mí quiero gritar puedo vivir, quiero volver a sonreír pues ya tengo quien me quiera y que solo es para mí .

 Vete de aquí no vuelvas más no te das cuenta que lo nuestro ya se terminó tu amor infiel hirió las fibras de mi ser crees que sufro, crees que muero por tu amor. 

Yo viviré, sobreviviré por que aun me queda mucha fe para encontrar a quien amar falta mucho por vivir tengo mucho que entregar. 

Sin tu querer puedo vivir “hey hey” vete de aquí no vuelvas más no te das cuenta que lo nuestro ya se terminó tu amor infiel hirió las fibras de mi ser crees que sufro ,crees que muero por tu amor.
