If I Were Your Woman

(by Stephanie Mills)

Mmm, hmm
Hey, baby
There's something I want to say
Hee, duh, dum

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 {Woman}
If I were your woman {Woman}
And you were my man
Hey, hey

She tears you down, darlin'
Says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up, doll
When she let's you fall

You're like a diamond
But she treats you like glass
Yet you're payin' 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, oh {Woman}
Here's what I'd do
I would never, never, no, no
Stop loving you, yeah

Life is so crazy
And love is unkind
But because she came first
Will she hang on your mind

You're a part of me
And you don't even know it
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 is what I would do
I would never, never, no, no (No, no)
Never, never, no, no (No, no)
Never, never, no, no
Stop loving you

{If I were your woman, woman, woman, woman}
Sweet lovin' 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 ain't afraid to show it
{If I were your woman, woman}
Your woman, your woman, woman
{If I were your woman, woman, woman, woman}
Hee...eee...yeah
{If I were your woman, woman}
Me endin' all would be ready, you got a home
{If I were your woman, woman}
And son, ha-ha, you would never ever never 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 don't want, I don't want no other man
