if i can't be your woman

Lynn Anderson

Young girls think love can be found any night
But a woman knows true love comes once in her life
The moment I saw you I knew we'd was true
That my mind would be empty if I couldn't have you
But you said you were takin' and you won't go away
I know you felt something when you heard me say
If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend
You don't have to caress me just hold my hand
If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend
You're the one that I need my love

I wish I knew the right words to make you change your mind
I would send them with flowers I would write them in rhymes
I don't know where you've been I can't tell where you'll be
But I want you to remember if you ever get free
So until then be happy and go your own way
And the words that you've heard are still true today
If I can't be your woman...
If I can't be your woman...
