Keith Whitley To Be Loved By A Woman Lyrics

To Be Loved By A Woman Lyrics

I wonder if you realize

How good it is to be loved by a woman

A woman you can count on

Even when she knows you've done her wrong



The one who worships you in spite of that old rowdy ground

That you used to walk on

Who'll stay awake to give you help

And thank the Lord you finally made it home



Well, it's that woman there behind you

The one who makes you who you are

She's not the President's first lady

She ain't no motion picture star



But she's the one who keeps you goin'

When you'd swear hope is gone

She's the mother of your children

Thank God she won't leave you alone



So if your thinkin' how you'd like

To shuck it all and get down on the highway

Well, buddy let me tell you

There ain't nothing left but leaving from then on



You better wrap her in your arms

And strap some good old fashioned love and honor

Or else you'll stagger in some night

And find an empty house that was your home



But it's that woman there behind you

The one who makes you who you are

She's not the president's first lady

She ain't no motion picture star



But she's the one who keeps you goin'

When you'd swear, hope was gone

She's the mother of your children

Thank God she won't leave you alone
