You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)
Connie Smith · Born to Sing (Bear Family (Germany)) [2001]
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body you better get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
--- Inwstrumental ---
Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you but he's in love with me
I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man.
Well, women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body you better get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.
No, you ain't woman enough to take my man...
