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 (*) ]
