Woman's Love

Maria Muldaur

Compositor: Mike Bloomfield / Nick Gravenites

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
I love him at all
Every time I hold him up
He begins to fall
He hasn't changed, he's just the same
Like all the other men
He needs a woman's love
This woman's love
To pick him up again
He's talkin' sweet lies in my ear
But it's just the same old song
Tellin' me 'bout a place somewhere
Where right is never wrong
Should I go or should I stay
At least for just tonight
Give him a woman's love
This woman's love
To try to make it right

A woman's life ain't easy
She can't depend upon her man
She'll take what he is givin'
She'll share the life he's livin'
He might leave her to do the best he can
He'll try to make her understand

I want you to come play with me
Just like we used to do
To make sure everything's all right
And really seem through
I know you're not a little girl
Out playin' children 's games
Give me your woman's love
Sweet woman's love
To make things right again

If it could just be yesterday
When all of us were young
Times when nothing' mattered
Hangin' out and havin' fun
Now I know you're a woman
With a woman's hopes and fears
With a woman's love, woman's love
Can ease away my (your) tears

If I could just make up my mind
And just lay down my bet
Everything would work out fine
And I'd have no regrets
But I know that I'm a woman
Sometimes weak and sometimes strong
With a woman's love, this woman's love
To keep right from gettin' wrong
