I'm Only a Woman

Dottie West · I'm Only a Woman [RCA Victor] [1972]

(Ben Peters)



When you look at me as if to say you need me

You don't know how close I come to giving in

But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong

I wish you'd never 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

Yes baby, I'm only a woman, only a woman

So please till you're free leave me alone.



Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you

Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine

But darling, till you're free please don't reach out fom me

'Cause I don't want our love to be that kind.



'Cause baby, I'm only a woman, only a woman

Oh, please till you're free leave me alone...
