To Be Loved By A Woman - Keith Whitley

I wonder if you realize

How good it is to be loved by a woman

A woman you can count on

Even when she knows you done her wrong

The one who worships you

In spite of that old rowdy ground that you used to walk on

Who’ll stay awake to give you help

And thank the Lord you finally made it home

But it’s that woman there behind you

The one who makes you who you are

She’s not the president’s first lady

She ain’t no motion picture star

But she’s the one who keeps you goin'

When you’d swear all hope was gone

She’s the Mother of your children

Thank God she won’t leave you alone

So if you re thinkin that you d like to chuck it all

And get on down the highway

Well buddy let me tell ya

There ain t nothin left but leavin from then on

You better wrap her in your arms

And strap some good ol fashion lovin on her

Or else you ll stagger in some night

And find an empty house that was your home

But is that woman there behind you

The one who makes you who you are

She’s not the president’s first lady

She ain’t no motion picture star

But she’s the one who keeps you goin'

When you’d swear all hope was gone

She’s the Mother of your children

Thank God she won’t leave you alone
