When you look at me as if to say you need me
You don't know how close I come to giving in
But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong

I wish you'd never come to me again
Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
Yes baby I'm only a woman only a woman so please till you're free leave me alone

Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you
Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine
But darling till you're free please don't reach out from me
Cause I don't want our love to be that kind
Cause baby I'm only a woman only a woman o please till you're free leave me alone
