Strength of a Woman

You've been so quiet lately Sometimes I wonder: has the cat got your tongue? You seem to be a thousand miles away Don't look me in the eyes and say it's okay; don't lie I got this funny feelin', baby That it's going to be that time again When you have the need for someone else I know you better than you know yourself [Chorus] Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman To understand the weakness of her man It's gonna take the strength of this woman To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man And, darlin', when you've been satisfied And it isn't new to you no more Think of me; I'll be here alone Waitin' for you to find your way back home [Chorus] Oh, I know how hard you tried To hide this all from me But if you keep a silent heart I can't give you what you need So hold me close, and hold me tight Let's say goodnight, and never say goodbye [Chorus]
