Just A Woman

Do you remember how the telephone would ring?

It was November before you suspected a thing

I was holding the receiver but the line was already down

When a voice inside had spoken

I knew that everything had broken

'Cause after all I'm just a woman

Doing everything I could

With all the power I can summon

To stand exactly where she stood

You held the door and she went through it

Followed by the feet at which I'd fall

When you stood up for her, I knew it

She's just a woman, after all

Can you imagine what the neighbours had to say?

They raised a sloe gin as they watched you walk away

I was hanging out the laundry but, the line was empty now

Except the shirt that you'd forgotten

I let my tears stain the cotton

'Cause after all, you're just a woman

Doing everything you could

With all the power you can summon

To stand exactly where she stood

I held the door and she went through it

Followed by the feet at which you'd fall

When I stood up for her, you knew it

I'm just a woman, after all

I turned the other cheek and waited for his kiss

I'd always aimed to please her but, I'd always miss

So, we'll try to stay together

'Cause our hearts are leather bound

With all the happiness I wished her

And wedded bliss just turns to blisters

'Cause after all, you're just a woman

Doing everything you could

With all the power you can summon

To stand exactly where she stood

I held the door and she went through it

Followed by the feet at which you'd fall

When I stood up for her, you knew it

I'm just a woman, after all

She's just a woman, after all

She's just a woman, after all

I'm just a woman, after all
