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 overrule my sense and I'd call you back for more
If I were your woman,
If I were your woman and you were my man
She tears you down darlin', says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up darlin' when she lets you fall
You're like a diamond, but she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you, but me, you don't ask
If I were your woman, if I were your woman
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do,
I'd never no no stop loving you
Life is so crazy, a love is unkind
Because she came first darlin' will she hang on your mind
You're a part of me and you don't even know it
I'm what you need, but I'm too afraid to show it
If I were your woman, if I were your woman
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do,
I'd never no no stop loving you
