Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I were your woman
And you were my man
You'd have no other woman
You'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strength
To walk out that door
My love would over-rule my sense
And I'd call you back for more
[Verse 2]
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
And you were my man
[Verse 3]
(Yeah)
She tears you down, darling
Says you're nothing at all (Nothing at all)
But I'll pick you up, darling (Pick you up when you fall, fall, fall, fall)
When she lets you fall
You're like a diamond (Shiny)
But she treats you like glass
Yet, you beg her to love you
But me you don't ask
[Verse 4]
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
Here's what I'd do
(What would you do? What would you do? What would you do?)
I'd never, no, no, stop loving you
[Verse 5]
(Ooh) Yeah
Yeah
Mmm
[Verse 6]
Life is so crazy
And love is unkind
Because she came first, darling
Will she hang on your mind?
You're a part of me (You're a part of me)
And you don't even know it
I'm what you need (I'm what you need)
But I'm too afraid to show it
[Verse 7]
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
Here's what I'd do
(What would you do? What would you do? What would you do?)
Never, no, no, no, stop loving you
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah
If I were your woman (If you were my woman)
Here's what I'd do
(What would you do? What would you do? What would you do?)
I'd never, never, never stop loving you
[Verse 9]
If I were your woman
You're sweet lovin' woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman, what would you do?)
I'd be your only woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman, what would you do?)
You'd need no other woman (If you were my woman)
If I were your woman (If you were my woman, what would you do?)
You'd want no other woman (If you were my woman)
