Lyrics for Song: If I Can't Be Your Woman
Lyrics for Album: Listen to a Country Song [Columbia] [1972]



(Gary Stoval - Kent Sprague)



Young girls think love can be found any night

But a woman knows true love comes once in her life

The moment I saw you I knew we was true

That my mind would be empty if I couldn't have you.



But you said you were takin' and you won't go away

I know you felt something when you heard me say

If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend

You don't have to caress me just hold my hand.



If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend

You're the one that I need my love.



I wish I knew the right words to make you change your mind

I would send them with flowers I would write them in rhymes

I don't know where you've been I can't tell where you'll be

But I want you to remember if you ever get free.



So until then be happy and go your own way

And the words that you've heard are still true today.



If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend

You're the one that I need my love.



If I can't be your woman let me please be your friend

You're the one that I need my love...
