[Verse 1]
If you were your woman, mmm, and I were your man
I'd have no other woman, 'cause I'd be weak as a lamb
If I had the strength to walk out that door
Your love would over rule my sense, and I'd come back back for more
[Chorus]
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
And I were your man, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
(Him) He tears you down darlin', says you're nothing at all (Nothing all)
But, I'll pick you up, baby (I'll pick you up when you fall), when he lets you fall, yeah
You're like a diamond (Shining) but he treats you like glass
Yet you beg him to love you, but me you don't ask
[Chorus]
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
Oh, here's what I'd do, oh yeah (What would you do, what would you do?)
I'd say I'd never, never, no, no, stop loving you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
[Bridge]
Life is so crazy, and love is unkind
Because he came first, darling, will he hang on your mind, yeah?
You're a part of me (You're part of me), and you don't even know it
I'm what you need (I'm what you need, I'm what you need), and I'm not afraid to show it
[Chorus]
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
Oh, here's what I'd do, oh yeah (What would you do, what would you do?)
I'd say I'd never, never, no, no, stop loving you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
My sweet and mellow woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
My sweet and mellow woman (If you were my woman)
If you were your woman, mmm, and I were your man
I'd have no other woman, 'cause I'd be weak as a lamb
If I had the strength to walk out that door
Your love would over rule my sense, and I'd come back back for more
[Chorus]
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
And I were your man, oh yeah

[Chorus]
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
If you were my woman (If you were my woman)
Oh, here's what I'd do, oh yeah (What would you do, what would you do?)
I'd say I'd never, never, no, no, stop loving you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
