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
To keep from doing wrong
And 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?
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 for me
For I don't want our love
To be that kind
Cause, baby
I'm only a woman
Only a woman
Can't you see
My heart's not made of stone?
I'm only a woman
Only a woman
So please till you're free
Leave me alone
So please till you're free
Leave me alone
