Lyrics
A woman’s love goes deeper than the man’s
Into a place only she understands
It’s a healing touch, it’s the blade of the knife
But it’s a woman’s love
A woman’s love that gives you life
A woman’s love, stronger than a man’s
It can hold your heart in the palm of his hands
It’ll keep the faith through the long dark nights
It takes a woman’s love
To see the light
It’ll make you fly or sink you like a stone
It’ll leave you high or leave you all alone
You’ll believe her word, no matter what you’ve heard
Anybody say about it
‘Cause there’s no life for you without it now
It’ll make you fly or sink you like a stone
It’ll leave you high or leave you all alone
You’ll believe her word, no matter what you’ve heard
Anybody say about it
‘Cause there’s no life for you without it now
If a woman’s love ever finds your soul
It’ll break your will, it’ll take control
‘Cause the very thing that your heart cries for
Is a woman’s love, this woman’s love and nothing more
It’s a woman’s love you’re living for
