For the Love of a Woman Songtext
von Joe South

For the love of a woman
You walk the floor after midnight
Hurtin′ all over
You wonder why she don't do right

For the love of a woman
You′ll leave your father and your mother
Even turn your back on
Your little sister and your brother

You know you'd walk for miles
Just for one of her smiles, yes you would
I don't know what I′m gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

For the love of woman
You forget your best friend, now
Even though you told him
You′d be true to the end


For the love of a woman
A man would do right or wrong
But it don't much matter
He′d sell his soul for a song

You'd do all the chores
Even fight wars, yes you would
I don′t know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

Lord, for the love, for the love, for the love
Of a beautiful woman
A man forgets all his being then
Do anythin′ for kissin'

Yeah, for the love, for the love, for the love
Of a beautiful woman
A man would do most anythin'
For the love she might bring him, now

For the love of a woman
You leave your father and your mother
Even turn your back on
Your little sister and your brother


You′d walk for miles
Just for one of her smiles, yes you would
Don′t know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

I don′t know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

Don′t know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman
