She may be getting somewhere, she may be staying put
|
She may be trying to reach you, she may be giving up
|
She may be trying to believe you or trying to deceive
|
Or holding on real tight, she may be threatening to leave
|
She may be picking up the pieces of what's been torn apart
|
And putting them together to find out who you are
|
She may be second thinking coincidence and chance
|
She might be into seeing her life before it happens
|
|
Oh the woman in your life
|
You gotta treat her right
|
|
She might be tryin' to know you one hundred years from now
|
She may be trying to forget you, she may be wondering how
|
She may be taking nothin' from you or taking what she needs?????
|
Or living her life for you or doing as she pleases
|
She may be learning this year to forget it all the next
|
She might have a good intention with a curse around her neck
|
She may be feelin' kinda lucky or swallowing defeat
|
Or wearing different faces for everyone she meets
|
|
Oh the woman in your life
|
You gotta treat her right
|
|
Sometimes her dress just don't fit right
|
Sometimes she's sick of the fight
|
And her lover just don't understand
|
The difficult days of a woman
|
You gotta treat her right
|
|
She may be close to the perfection you desire in yourself
|
She may be feeling sorry for you but never for herself
|
She may be putting up with living and working to the bone
|
Or staging a crusade before she gets home
|
She may be easily fooled and equally wise
|
Or trying to convince someone when she'd do otherwise
|
She might be feeling lonely with that smile upon her face
|
Or trying to intervene with the hands of fate
|
|
Oh the woman in your life
|
You gotta treat her right
|
