A Woman Like Me Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

I don′t want no roses
It's too late for sweet-talking now
Ain′t no need you're comin' ′round here no more
′Cause this old flame been burned down

And you left me alone
In this cold empty bed
And a woman like me, you left alone
Can surely be misled

Ah-oh, you left me lonely
You left me one too many times too long
Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin′
Waitin' on a man who′s never home

Home

So much promise in your words
So much fire in your eyes
So much of hard love when you kiss me back, think it
You let our love just slowly die


And you left me here one more
And then, another man came along
When a woman like me ain't getting no lovin′
She can't be too strong

Oh-whoa, you left me lonely
You left me one too many times too long
Tell a woman like me ain't gon′ be sittin′ 'round here just waitin′
Waitin' on a man who′s never home

You left me by myself too long
You left me by myself too damn long

I hear a different drummin' now
Marching to a different beat
Found me a man who′s gonna be there for me
Learn who can shape this cheat

'Cause your love were nothing but a listen
Just a sad memory
And I haven't let go, every single dream
That I had, you and me

Oh, you left me lonely
You left me by myself too many times too long
Tell a woman like me ain′t gonna be sittin′ 'round here just waitin′
Waitin' on a man who′s never home


Oh-oh, you left me lonely
You left me by myself too many times too long
Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin′
Waitin' on a man who's never home, never home

No, not a woman like me
No, no, not a woman like me, yeah
No, not a woman like me
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no

Not a woman like me
Not to a woman like me
I′m gon′ sit here by myself
Waitin' on you to come home
I ain′t no babe, just sittin' here
To doubt, oh no, to doubt, oh no
Oh, not a woman like me
