A Woman's Worth Lyrics

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, to last
Cause 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 chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

[Chorus]
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

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 chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

[Chorus]

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!

[Chorus]

A Woman's Worth Song Chart

This was Keys' second single, after "Fallin'." She released her first album on Clive Davis' record label after spending four years at Columbia Records without releasing anything.

Keys wrote this about self-esteem, and being worthy of the kindness of others. She explained that the sentiment can relate to a man or a woman.

The video was shot in Brooklyn, near where Keys grew up. It was directed by Chris Robinson, who also did her videos for "Fallin'," "Karma" and "You Don't Know My Name."

Keys performed this on the 2001 season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

A remix was released in February 2002 featuring the rapper Nas.

In the webchat for the Sun newspaper of March 18, 2002, Alicia Keys was asked what inspired her to write this song. Her reply: "I was actually in someone's house for Thanksgiving and I was watching TV. All these different commercials came on. There was this one commercial that said 'Because I'm Worth It.' And you know what - I AM worth it."
