He told her that he loved her

And she believed he did

But he never found the way to let it show

How many times did she walk that floor for him

These are things that only a woman knows



And what about the flowers and the cards he never sent

The little things you do to make love grow

What she’d give if he had held her every now and then

These are things that only a woman knows



‘Cause only a woman knows what it’s like

To wait for a man to open up his eyes

And when she leaves he wonders why she goes

These are things that only a woman knows



She gave all she had

‘Til there was nothin’ left to take

It’s his turn to look deep inside his soul

And if he’ll change will she come back

Or will it be too late

These are things that only a woman knows



‘Cause only a woman knows what it’s like

To wait for a man to open up his eyes

And when she leaves he wonders why she goes

Lord, these are things that only a woman knows



Yeah, these are things that only a woman knows
