Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Picture this, coming home from a long day's work
No food is there
Picture this, steady trying to show the world your worth
And nobody cares
Picture this, no kissing, ain't no touching
There's no hugging
And in the evening, no good loving
[Verse 2]
Ain't no pretty picture you can paint
Ain't no way this life would be the same
[Verse 3]
I'm telling you, a man can't be a man
Without a woman, no (Woman, woman)
And you can try as hard as you can
But we ain't nothing (Without a woman, nothing)
Living in a world so cold, so cold (Cold)
The fire burns through my soul
Without a woman
[Verse 4]
What if you had no hands to rub upon your shoulders?
And in the morning she's not there to fix your Folgers?
You're sick as a dog right now, kids running all around that house
No one to help you out
Picture this, you're paying these bills all by yourself
No one to tell you, watch your health
You keep fucking up, you might as well
Picture this 'cause your world don't spin without her
And hers gon' spin without you
[Verse 5]
Ain't no pretty picture you can paint
Ain't no way this life would be the same
[Verse 6]
I'm telling you, a man can't be a man
Without a woman, no (Woman, woman)
And you can try as hard as you can
But we ain't nothing (Without a woman, nothing)
Living in a world so cold, so cold (Cold)
The fire burns through my soul
Without a woman
[Verse 7]
Say hello to pain
Goodbye to love
Hello to rain
The sun won't ever shine again
[Verse 8]
There'll be no Wednesday movie nights
No make-ups after fights
Girl, I'll make it right
I'm lonely with my pillow
[Verse 9]
Your car's not in the driveway
Clothes ain't in the closet
Girl, I'm broken-hearted, come and find me
'Cause I'm lost without my woman
[Verse 10]
And I know that a man can't be a man
Without (Woman, woman)
You can try hard as you can, ooh
(Without a woman, nothing)
Living in a world so cold (Cold)
The fire burns through my soul
Without my woman
[Verse 11]
See, see, baby, life ain't life
And living ain't living
Without my woman (Woman, woman)
I'm hurting inside
With-with-without my woman, no, no, no
(Woman, woman) Ooh
