All Woman

He's home again from another day

She smiles at him as he walks through the door

She wonders if it will be okay

It's hard for her when he doesn't respond

He says, "Babe, you look a mess

You look dowdy in that dress

It's just not like it used to be"

Then she says

"I may not be a lady, but I'm all woman

From Monday to Sunday, I work harder than you know

I'm no classy lady, but I'm all woman

And this woman needs a little love to make her strong

You're not the only one"

She stands there and lets the tears flow

Tears that she's been holdin' back so long

She wonders where did all the lovin' go?

The love they used to share when they were strong

She says, "Yes, I look a mess

But I don't love you any less

I thought you always thought enough of me to always be impressed"

I may not be a lady, but I'm all woman

From Monday to Sunday, I work my fingers to the bone

And I'm no classy lady, but I'm all woman

This woman needs a little love to make her strong

You're not the only one

He holds her and hangs his head in shame

He doesn't see her like he used to do

He's too wrapped up in workin' for his pay

He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through

Attention that he paid just vanished in the haze

He remembers how it used to be when he used to say

"You'll always be a lady, 'cause you're all woman

From Monday to Sunday, I love you much more than you know

You're a classy lady, 'cause you're all woman

This woman needs a lovin' man to keep her warm"

(All woman) You're the only one

(All woman) Ooh, you're a classy lady

(All woman) 'Cause you're all woman

(All woman) So sweet, that love that used to be (All woman)

So sweet, that love that used to be (All woman)

Ooh, yeah (All woman)

We can be sweet again (All woman)
