Youve been so quiet lately
Sometimes I wonder: has the cat got your tongue?
You seem to be a thousand miles away
Dont look me in the eyes and say its okay; dont lie
I got this funny feelin, baby
That its going to be that time again
When you have the need for someone else
I know you better than you know yourself
Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
Its gonna take the strength of this woman
To keep fightin for the lovin of her man
And, darlin, when youve been satisfied
And it isnt new to you no more
Think of me; Ill be here alone
Waitin for you to find your way back home
Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
Its gonna take the strength of this woman
To keep fightin for the lovin of her man
Oh, I know how hard you tried
To hide this all from me
But if you keep a silent heart
I cant give you what you need
So hold me close, and hold me tight
Lets say goodnight, and never say goodbye
Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
Its gonna take the strength of this woman
To keep fightin for the lovin of her man
