When You've Got a Woman

Trouble's no stranger to a man that's grown He gonna come knockin' one day to every home But he can't take nothin' that love won't provide When you've got a woman to lay down beside Way back in the Garden when God made man He put the whole of creation there in the palm of his hands And as good as it was, he was empty inside 'Til God made him a woman, to lay down beside When you've got a woman to lay down beside She can hold you together on the darkest night You can lay down your burden, you can lay down your pride When you've got a woman to lay down beside I was down in the darkness with nowhere to go Trapped within the walls of my own selfish soul When the good Lord looked down, saw the tears that I cried And He gave me a woman to lay down beside And when you've got a woman to lay down beside She can hold you together on the darkest night You can lay down your burden, you can lay down your pride When you've got a woman to lay down beside Lay down, lay down All my worries and fears I'm gonna lay them down now Lay down, lay down On my darkest night By this beautiful woman, gonna lay down
