woman
have mercy
your words have a kind of touch
my mind is reeling
my heart is feeling
and you just sighed
looking directly into my eyes
please, don’t cry
(chorus)
asked me for attention
well, i’ll give it to ya
call me when you’re worried
i’ll listen to ya
you don’t know
i’m only wanting to rule
if it makes everything
perfect for you
take away
all your pain
that would be the only way
i could reign
woman
you can scream
at the earth
the places
of your birth
and when you come back
to yourself
i’ll be right here reminding you
of your worth
(chorus)
asked me for attention
well, i’ll give it to ya
call me when you’re worried
you have all these perfect words
well, lady, i have them too
and it’s about time
you know what they can do for you
dry those eyes
only joy is what i bring
you’ve cried your last
say goodbye to all this suffering
because if it will exist
we’ll get through all of it
woman
have a little patience with me
because your time is coming
good days are ahead,
my love is steady
and everything you’ve read,
and what can I say?
what they say is true
i’m good at the kind things too
for you
