<P>Not sure how to keep your woman happy? Just ask <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/blige_mary_j/artist.jhtml">Mary J. Blige</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyoncé</a>. The two divas lay out a tutorial on how to court the fairer sex with "Love a Woman," from MJB's upcoming <i>My Life II ... The Journey Continues, Act I.</i> But fans may be surprised to learn that the long-overdue collaboration was nearly a one-woman affair.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Beyonce Wanted Mary J. Blige To Have 'Love A Woman'" id="vid:712740.id:1674565" width="240" height="211"></div><p></P><P>B initially recorded the song for her<a href="/news/articles/1674585/beyonce-video-roseland-wedding-dress.jhtml"><i>4</i> LP</a>, but thought it would be a better fit as a duet with Mary.</P><P>"It was a song she recorded for her album that didn't fit her album and she sent it through her A&R people to give to me," Mary revealed to MTV News. "When the song came, her voice was on it completely and it was just amazing and I wasn't sure that they wanted to give me this record because it was so amazing."</P><P>The soothing track starts off with Mary sweetly singing, "So you think you know how to love a woman/ But I think it's still some things you need to know." As the flowery instrumental builds with a serene piano melody and accentuating horns, MJB goes on to warn that a woman needs more than material things. B turns up the heat demanding that she needs "more than sex," she needs to be made love to. From there, the song plays as a lyrical how-to. Communication is a must, as is respect, but coming home late and being a one-minute man is a no-no.</P><P>While both the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and an expecting Queen B display good chemistry on the song, a video for the track may be hard to pull off. "I'm sure 'Love a Woman' would be a single but I can't really trouble Beyoncé right now; she's pregnant and I'm sure she's doing her stuff," Mary said. "So whenever she's ready, <i>if</i> she's ever ready, I'm ready and it'll be great."</P><P><i>Should MJB and B shoot a video for "Love a Woman"? Tell us in the comments!</i></P>
