He's a good man

And he's always been right there by her side

Through thich and thin

She can count on him

He's given her a real good life


He never missed a valentines day

The roses are right on time

And he never walks out of the house

Without kissing her good-bye


But a woman knows

When she's lying awake at night

Where her man goes

When he's out of her sight

There's no way to explain

How she knows what she knows

She don't let it show, but a woman knows


He still holds her close at night

Still feels like making love

But something about it

Just don't seem to feel the way it was

He still says 'I love you'

Still tuckin' the kids in bed

It's nothing that he's done

It's nothing that he's said


But a woman knows

When she's lying awake at night

Where her man goes

When he's out of her sight

There's no way to explain

How she knows what she knows

She don't let it show, but a woman knows


And she'll stay with him no matter what she chooses not to see

'Cause to her it's all about the family

And she's got at least a hundred reasons not to leave

'Cause he's almost everything she's dreamed


But a woman knows

When she's lying awake at night

Where her man goes

When he's out of her sight

There's no way to explain

How she knows what she knows

She don't let it show, but a woman knows
