STRENGTH OF A WOMAN
The Carpenters

You?ve been so quiet lately

Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue

You seem to be a thousand miles away

Don?t look me in the eyes and say it?s o.k.

Don?t lie

I got this funny feelin? baby

That it?s going to be that time again

When you have the need for someone else

I know you better than you know yourself


(*) sometimes it takes the strength of a woman

To understand the weakness of her man

It?s gonna take the strength of this woman

To keep fightin? for the lovin? of her man


And darlin? when you?ve been satisfied

And it isn?t new to you no more

Think of me, I?ll be here alone

Waitin? for you to find your way back home


Repeat (*)


Oh I know how hard you tried

To hide this all from me

But if you keep a silent heart

I can?t give you what you need

So hold me close and hold me tight

Let?s say goodnight, and never say goodbye


Repeat (*)
