Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ah, ha, ooh, ooh-ooh, wah

Ah, ha, ooh, ooh, wah, yeah

Ah, ha, ooh

[Verse 2]

Pray, God, you can come

I'll stand outside

This woman's work, this woman's world

Ooh, it's hard on the man

Now his part is over

Now starts the craft

Of the father

[Verse 3]

I know you've got a little life in you left

I know you've got a lot of strength left

I know you've got a little life in you yet

I know you've got a lot of strength left

[Verse 4]

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

All the things we should've said that I never said

All the things we should've done that we never did

All the things we should've given, but I didn't

Oh, darling

Make it go

Make it go away

[Verse 5]

Give me these moments

Give them back to me

Give me a little kiss

Give me your

(I know you have a little life in you yet)

Give me your hand, baby

(I know you have a lot of strength left)

Give me your pretty hand

(I know you have a little life in you yet)

Oh, hold my hand

(I know you have a lot of strength left)

Your love, child

(I know you have a little life in you yet)

Whatever you need

(I know you have a lot of strength left)

Give me your hand

(I know you have a little life in you yet)

Give me your hand

(I know you have a lot of strength left)

[Verse 6]

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show, baby

I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

All the things we should've said that I never said

All the things we should've done that we never did

All the things that you wanted from me

All the things that you needed from me

All the things we should've given, but I didn't, oh

Oh, darling

Make it go away now

Just make it go away, yeah
