I know the best years of your life you've given them to me

And without a man to lean on a happy future you can't see

But try to understand my youth is whipping by me day by day

So woman woman get out of my way

Woman woman please leave us alone

She gave me love and understanding when you were leavin' at home

You hurt my pride that way Lord she stood beside me every day

So woman oh woman get out of my way

[ piano ]

Then years gone by I've tried to reach out and get a little love from you

But you know darlin' you were always too busy but more important things to do

Even though now too late you realize that you needed my love to stay

Well let me tell you somethin' woman woman get out of my way

Woman woman please leave us alone...

Woman woman get out of our way
