Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pray God you can cope

I'll stand outside this woman's work

This woman's world

Ooh, it's hard on a man, now his part is over

Now starts the craft of the Father

[PreChorus]

I know you've got a little life in you yet

I know you've got a lot of strength left

I know you've got a little life in you yet

And I know you've got a lot of strength left

[Chorus]

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said that we never said

And all the things we should've done that we never did

All the things we should've given, but I didn't

Oh, darling, make it go

Make it go away

[Verse 2]

Give me these moments

Give them back to me

Give me that little kiss

Give me your

[PreChorus]

I know you have a little life in you yet

Give me your hand, baby

I know you have a lot of strength left

Give me that pretty hand

I know you have a little life in you yet

I'll show you that I understand

I know you got a lot of strength left

My love child

I know you have a little life in you yet

Whatever you need

I know you have a lot of strength left

Give me your hand

I know you have a little life in you yet

Give me your hand

I know you got a lot of strength left

[Chorus]

Oh, should be crying, but I just can't let it go

Should be hoping, but I can't stop

Thinking and thinking and thinking

Of all the things we should've said that we never said

And all the things we should've done that we never did

All the things that you wanted from me

All the things that you needed from me

All the things that I should've given, but I didn't

Oh, darling, make it go

Just make it go away
