Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder
Do you, even recognize the woman
That's standing in front of you?
Listen, sometimes I wonder
Do you, even care or realize why I took care of you
'Cause you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I cannot be whole, baby
So far apart
And I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby, why
These tears I cry
(Tears I cry)
Sure won't be the last
They will not be the last no
'Cause this pain inside
(Pain inside seems to pass)
Never seems to pass
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you
(Yeah)
Said I thank you
(Yeah)
Yes I thank you
(Yeah)
For making me a woman, yeah
(Yeah)
Sometimes I wonder, could she be
More of a woman to you than you are a man to me
Listen, sometime I wonder, why me
I'm here miserable while you're out living your fantasies
And didn't care
'Cause you're my heart
You are my soul
You're my other half
Without you I cannot be whole, baby
So far apart
And I just don't know
What drove us apart in the first place
Now I know baby, why
These tears I cry
(Tears I cry)
Sure won't be the last
They will not be the last, no
'Cause this pain inside
(Pain inside seems to pass)
Which never seems to pass
It never seems to pass me by
So I thank you
(Yeah)
Said I thank you
(Yeah)
Yes I thank you
(Yeah)
For making me a woman, yeah
(Yeah)
One thing I learned in life, is
We gotta be ready to sacrifice to survive
I hope she's happy
'Cause you're the chapter that I'll be closing
Hope you're happy
'Cause once my door close it won't be open
These tears I cry
(Tears I cry)
(Tears I cry)
Sure won't be the last
(Sure won't be the last)
They will not be the last, no
(They will not be the last)
This pain inside
(Pain inside)
(Pain inside)
Never seems to pass
(Never seems to pass)
It never seems to pass me by
(It never seems to pass)
So I thank you
(Yeah)
Said I thank you
(Yeah)
Yes I thank you
(Yeah)
For making me a woman, yeah
So I thank you
(Yeah)
(I do, thank you)
Said I thank you
(Yeah)
(Yes you, I mean you)
Yes I thank you
(Yeah)
(Thank you, for making me a woman, yeah)
For making me a woman, yeah
(Yeah)
