A lot of people breaking hearts these days

Giving up and just walking away

Forever's just another word

That you hear young lovers say

I know it may be old fashioned, but I still believe

Love stays when the strong winds blow

Even when it hurts, don't let go



Chorus

You've got to treat her right, understand

That she's your woman and you're her man

Tell her that you need her

Like the desert needs the rain

And if you treat her right, show her you care

When you need her she'll be there

Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night

If you love her, treat her right



A good woman ain't easy to find

The faithful and the loving kind

And if you don't hold her tight

She'll slip right through your hands

Love gives more than it takes

So be willing for her sake

Stand by her when the strong winds blow

Even when it hurts, don't let go



Chorus



She's your best friend and your lover

So if you want to keep her

Take good care of her



If you treat her right, show her you care

When you need her, she'll be there

Like an island in the storm, a beacon in the night

If you love her treat her right



Treat her right

Treat her right
