Woman to Woman

Hello, may I speak to Barbara? Barbara, this is Shirley

You might not know who I am but the reason I'm calling you is because

I was going through my old man's pockets this morning

And I just happened to find your name and number

So woman to woman, I don't think it's being any more than fair

Than to call you and let you know where I'm coming from

Now, Barbara, I don't know how you gonna take this

But whether you be cool or come out of a bag on me

You see, it really doesn't make any difference

But it's only fair that I let you know

That the man you're in love with, he's mine

From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet

The bed he sleeps in and every piece of food he eats

You see I make it possible

The clothes on his back, I buy them

The car he drives, I pay the note every month

So I'm telling you these things to let you know

How much I love that man

And woman to woman, I think you'll understand

Just how much I'll do to keep him

Woman to woman, if you've ever been in love

Then you know how I feel

And woman to woman, now if you were in my shoes

Wouldn't you have done the same thing too?

Whoa, woman to woman, can't you see where I'm coming from?

Woman to woman, ain't that the same thing you would have done?

Woman to woman, now should I just step aside?

And let her take what's rightfully mine

Whoa, woman to woman, was I right or was I wrong?

I ain't gonna let you break up my happy home

Now, woman to woman, now, you see I don't want no trouble now

I hope you understand I love that man and he's mine

I'm talking to you woman to woman

You should be woman enough to understand

That man, I love that man

Woman, woman, woman to woman, he's mine

And I ain't gon' give him up, now baby, I ain't lying now

The best of my years been with that man

I hope you'll understand
