When you look at me as if to say you need me

You don't know how close I come to giving in

But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong

I wish you'd never come to me again

Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman

Can't you see my heart's not made of stone

Yes baby I'm only a woman only a woman so please till you're free leave me alone



Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you

Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine

But darling till you're free please don't reach out from me

Cause I don't want our love to be that kind

Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman o please till you're free leave me alone
