(General Johnson/Ronald Dunbar/Greg Perry)

(she give you all her love) hey
(she never get enough of your love)
hey, hey, ooh
you better butter up your buttercup
you better give her love she can't get enough

[chorus:]
a woman can't live by bread alone
(butter her with love)
a woman can't live by bread alone
(butter her with love)

men try to satisfy a woman
with gifts and pretty flowers
but all the things that money can buy
won't make her for her lonely hours
without love, her life is there
what she needs is your loving care

[chorus]

wrapped in your loving arms
don't you know it means more to her
than being covered with diamonds and pearls
or wrapped up with expensive furs
without love and tenderness,
she's not satisfied, she'd better exit

[repeat chorus]

(she give you all her love) hey
(she never get enough of your love)
hey, hey, ooh
you better butter up your buttercup
you better give her love she can't get enough
hey

[interlude]

I said a woman can't live by bread alone
(butter her with love)
oh, a woman can't live by bread alone
(butter her with love)
a woman can't live by bread alone
(butter her with love)
no, no, woman can't live by bread alone
