(Alan Jackson)

I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman’s love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman’s love
And I know
I’ll never understand
All the little things
that make It grand
A woman’s love
And I know
I’ll never come Face to face
With any thing
that takes the Place
Of a woman’s love

Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman’s love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman’s love

Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A woman’s love

And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman’s love
Well I adore it
Thank god for it
A woman’s love

Where have you been are you still on my side
Is that love or regret that I see in your eyes
How many years have we played out this game
Every time we come close the answer’s always the same

I guess some souls get restless under the skin
There’s a shortage by half of marrying men
You know that I love you but I love to be free
So tell me what do you want, yeah from a gypsy like me

I need a ring on my finger, champagne on ice
One man to show me the best part of life
Is that what you want
Yeah, that’s what I need

A home and a family makes sense for us
A solid foundation built out of trust
Do you think you can find that with someone like me
Two arms to hold you, one place to be
Are just some of the things that a woman needs

I’ve been shortchanged and cheated so many times
But you’re all that I’ve wanted For all of my life
I’ve searched for the reasons, known how I’ve felt
But what can I give you when I can’t trust myself

Hush little baby don’t you cry
Momma’s gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don’t send you to sleep
Momma’s gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, I know not why
Things that we’ve worked for they started to sell
Now heaven is for angels and earth is hell

Hush little baby your time may come
When things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long

Hush oh, my child, Momma’s only sad
They’ve damned nearly taken away all I have
And all I have in the world is you
Just you and the future’s that sees me through

But hush oh, my child, Momma’s only sad
They’ve damned nearly taken away all I have
And all I have in the world is you
All I have in the world is you
It’s you and the future’s that sees me through

Hush little baby don’t you cry
Momma’s gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don’t send you to sleep
Momma’s gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, I know not why
Things that we’ve worked for they started to sell
Now heaven is for angels and earth is hell

Hush little baby your time may come
When things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long

Hush oh, my child, Momma’s only sad
They’ve damned nearly taken away all I have
And all I have in the world is you
Just you and the future’s that sees me through

So hush little baby your time may come
The things as they are now will be undone
And you as the change if you last that long
And you as the change if you last that long

All I have in the world is you
It’s you and the future’s that sees me through

My time, my patience, my love
My blood, my sweat, my tears
My burdens, my drama, my pain
My car, my money, my home
My ups, my downs, my fears
And my hours, my work, my strength
My fault, my this, my that
Nigga please

Baby, this is a woman’s threat

My shakin’, my sleep, my stress
My days, my night, my rest
My do’s, my don’ts, my dares
And my church, my pastor, my prayers
My all, my faith, my powers
And my kitchen, my sink, my towels
My joy, my sad, my hate
And my sister, my cousin, my friends
My lights, my gas, my bills
My role, my way, my will
My hollerin’, my fussin’, my fights

My panties, my socks, my things
My flowers, my dress, my ring
My man, my lover, my king
My live, my chance, my fault
And my guts, my courage, my wounds
My fence, my neighbors, my yard
My chains, my lock, my guards
My win, my lose, my gain
And my credit, my card, my name
Myself, my freedom, my roof

Listen
(Whoa, whoa…)
Have you ever heard the story
About the three little bears
See they papa was gone
For a long, long, long, long time
When he returned
To his sweet little home
He had come to find
That all of his porridge was gone

If you don’t stop
(This is a warning)
Someone’s gonna lay in your bed
(This is a warning)
And someone’s gonna eat your food
(This is a warning)
And someone’s gonna wear your clothes
(This is a warning)
And someone’s gonna fit your shoes

Lately I?ve been lookin’ through the windows of my soul
And I can see there’s not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that?s forgotten how to love

Chorus:
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch

When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it, it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, its rough and ragged edges
Sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch

What my poor heart needs is a woman’s touch
A woman’s touch

You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I’m worth it
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know I’m worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can’t find a man who knows her worth, mhmn

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth

If you treat me fairly I’ll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you’re worth it
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I’ll hold you down when shit gets rough
Baby I know you’re worth it
She rolls the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Don’t take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can’t find a man who knows her worth, oh

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth

No need to read between the lines, spell it out for you
Just hear this song cuz you can’t go wrong when you value
A woman, woman, woman, a woman’s worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth

Mhmn mhmn mhmn mhmn mhmn mhmn?.

Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car but there’s no place to park it,
No respect for supermen in the supermarket.
I guess there must be trouble but I’ve not been alerted;
Looking round the store, it was all deserted
And I’m stranded here with my empty basket,
So full of questions but nowhere to ask it.

Chorus:
By the one way out, strange voice shouts,
“Don’t let that good man out!”
“Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,
One way, one day;
Have a wonderful day in our one-way world,
One way, one day;
One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind.”

There’s an old man on the floor so I summon my charm,
I say, “Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?”
He says “Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth,
They all got afraid, ‘cos I’m the living proof.
My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?”
I said, “Stop, old man! You’ve got a nerve,
‘cos there’s only one rule that I observe:
Time is money, and money I serve.”

Chorus

I don’t know why
I just know I do
I just can’t explain
In this language that I use
Something leaves me speechless
Each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost

If I only could tell you
If you only would listen
I’ve got a line or two to use on you
I’ve got a romance we could christen

And there’s a word in Spanish I don’t understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

If you can’t comprehend
Read it in my eyes
If you don’t understand it’s love
In a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you
Each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist

When manners make no difference
And my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance
And fall back on a foreign tongue

Lost in a feelin’
so very deep inside of me
Something’s not healing ever since
you left this place
Oh, but I loved you and although
I didn’t know you
Just the idea of you brought
rapture to my face

I feel I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
Even though we’ll always
be a world apart
Now I’m getting on without you
But I need to cry sometimes
?Cause I know we’ll always
be a world apart

Voices of children –
In the streets I hear them laughing
It all fades to one voice
I hear crying in the night
I think about you wondering
if you’re out there listening
As if the words I sing
will somehow bring you light

Well I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
But I know we’ll always
be a world apart
Now I’m getting on without you
But there’s a shadow in my heart
‘Cause I know we’ll always
be a world apart

Seems I almost got to know you
At least you made it to my heart
But I know we’ll always
be a world apart
Through the constancy of memory
You will live inside my heart
Then we’ll never have to
be a world apart

Over and over I never knew
how much till you were gone
Over and over and over
you will be mine eternally
