If I Were Your Woman Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

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 sins
And I′d call you back for more
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
And you were my man, yeah

She ties you down, darlin', says you're nothing at all
But I′ll pick you up, baby (pick you up when you fall)
When she lets you fall
You′re like a diamond (shine)
But she treats you just like glass
Yet you beg her to love you
When we won't even ask


If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
Oh, just let me tell you what I′d do
Yeah, I'll stop loving you
Oh, yeah, life is so crazy

And love is so unkind
Just ′cause she came first, darlin'
Are you gonna let her hang on your mind?
You′re a part of me
And you don't even know it
I'm just what you need
But I′m too darn scared to show it

If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
Yeah, just let me tell you what I′d do

Said I'd never, never stop, never stop loving you now
(If I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
Your sweet loving woman (if I were your woman)
Yeah, just let me just tell you what I do


Said I, never, never stop lovin′ you (if I were your woman)
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop, never gonna stop this
(If I were your woman)
Never gonna stop lovin' you, stop lovin′ you (if I were your woman)
Stop lovin' you, stop lovin′ you (if I were your woman)

If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
Your sweet, sweet lovin' woman (if I were your woman)
If I were your woman (if I were your woman)
I'd never stop lovin′ you (if I were your woman)
If I′m your sweet lovin' baby (if I were your woman)
If I were your sweet lovin′ baby (if I were your woman)
I'd never stop lovin′ you (if I were your woman)
