Mmmm
Hey, baby, there's something I wanna say
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
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 senses and I'd call you back for more
If I were your woman (Woman)
If I were your woman (Woman)
And you were my man
Hey, hey, eh
(Oh, oh, she) She tears you down, darling
Says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up, darling, when she lets you fall
(You're like) You're like a diamond (a diamond)
But she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you
But me, oh no, you don't ask
If I were your woman. (Woman)
If I were your woman. (Woman)
If I were your woman, (Woman)
Here's what I'd do, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
I'd never, never, no no, stop loving you
Hey, hey, eh, eh
Life is so crazy and love is unkind
But because she came first
Will she hang on your mind
(You're) You're a part of me and you don't even know it
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) That I'm what you need
But I'm so, so afraid to show it
If I were your woman. (Woman)
If I were your woman. (Woman)
If I were your woman, (Woman)
Here's what I would do, oooh, oooh
I'd never, never, no no. No, no
Never, never, no no. Never
Never, never, no no, stop loving you, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
(If I were your woman. Woman, woman, woman.)
Sweet loving woman, yeah
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
You're a part of me and you don't even know it
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
That I'm what you need and I'm not afraid to show it
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
Your woman, your woman
If I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
(If I were your woman. Woman, woman, woman.)
Yeeeee, hee, eee, hee. Yeah
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
Me ending all would be ready when you got a home
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
It's alright, ha, ha, ha, you would never, never ever have to roam
(If I were your woman. Woman.)
I'm the only woman, yes I am
(If I were your woman. Woman, woman, woman.)
And I-I-I-I-I-I don't understand, I don't want no other man
