Lynn Anderson - If I Can't Be Your Woman Lyrics

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'd was true
That my mind would be empty
If I couldn't have you

But you said you were taking
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
If I can't be your woman
