Lyrics
I won?t ever leave you baby ? it?s alright
I understand being scared now baby ? it?s alright
Let me take you by the hand
And be your lovin? man
Don?t be so hard on yourself ? it?s alright
Why should you put your love on a shelf ? it?s alright
I?ll be home when I can
And be your lovin? man
You?re a woman with needs ? that I can satisfy
You?re the woman I want for me ? right by my side
You?re a woman worth caring for ? I?ll gladly stand by
You?re a woman and I?m a man ? with a love we can?t deny
No one coulda seen it comin? baby ? it?ll be alright
Sorry it had to happen baby ? it?ll be alright
It?s just so hard to understand
When the world?s in God?s hand
One day we?ll be all better ? it?ll be alright
We can have the life we want ? it?ll be alright
We?ll be home real soon
And there will be plenty of room
You?re a woman with needs ? that I can satisfy
You?re the woman I want for me ? right by my side
You?re a woman worth caring for ? I?ll gladly stand by
You?re a woman and I?m a man ? with a love we can?t deny
