Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the morning
After each night that we meet
There's no room for breakfast
And the hunger is for repeat
[Verse 2]
The times we spend together
Are so few and far between
It tends to make a man forget
What a woman really means
[Verse 3]
In the early afternoon
I relax and take a break
That's when my mind is on you
Far away from the hard days of work
[Verse 4]
Trying hard to make a living
So I won't get caught between
I really get the feeling of
What a woman really means
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Don't you forget
What a woman really means
[Verse 6]
In the twilight of the evening
When the sun is going down
My love for you grows stronger
It's so good when you're around
[Verse 7]
You have so much love to offer
And the moments in between
Just help me to realize
What a woman really means
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Don't you forget
What a woman really means
Squeezin', touchin', lovin'
I don't want you to forget
No, no
