I walked half way across this town
Singing in the pouring rain
I knew someway somehow
I had to see your smiling face

Some people need some time
Some people need their space
But when you're not in my arms
You're too far away (for)

Chorus

The love of a woman
The love of a woman like you
The love of a woman
There's nothing so strong and so true
I prayed to God above
And I've searched my whole life through
For the love of a woman
The love of a woman like you

My friends all ask me why
I lay my heart on the line
But somewhere deep down inside
They know exactly why
When it don't go like you plan
There's nothing that hurts so bad
But when it works like it should
There's nothing on earth known to man (like)

Chorus

(Tag)
I prayed to God above
And I've searched my whole life through
For the love of a woman
The love of a woman like you
For the love of a woman
The love of a woman like you
