I'm Only a Woman

Skeeter Davis · It's Hard to Be a Woman (RCA Victor) [1970]

(Ben Peters)



When you look at me and tell me that 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 wouldn't 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 are free leave me alone.



Don't you know it hurts to know her arms are holding you

And you know how much I wish those arms were mine

But darling till you are free don't reach out from 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 are free leave me alone...
