[Intro]
Alright, damn it, now this one's it, no more stoppin'
Finito, yes, that's what I'm talkin' about
Alright, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright

[Verse 1]
If I was 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 through that door
My love would overrule my sense and I'd call you back for more

[Chorus]
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man

[Verse 2]
She tears you down, darling, says you're nothing at all
I'll pick you up, darling, when she lets you fall
You're like a diamond, but she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you, for me you don't ask

[Chorus]
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man

[Verse 3]
Life is so crazy and love is unkind
Since she came first, darling, will she hang on your mind?
You're a part of me and you don't even know it
'Cause I'm what you need, but I'm too afraid to show it

[Chorus]
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man

[Outro]
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman and you were my man
If I was your woman
