I'm only a woman Of flesh and bone And I wept much We all do I thought I might die alone But I had never (x11) met you So baby be good to me I've got nothing to give you, you see except everything, everything, everything, everything All the good And the bad Cause I've been bad I've lied, cheated, stolen, and been ungrateful for what I had And I'm afraid habits rule my waking life I'm scared And I'm running in my sleep For you But all of the oceans and rivers and showers will wash it all away And make me clean For you Cause I had never (x15) met you
So let's take a loan out Put it down on a house In a place we've never lived in a place that exists In the pages of scripts and the songs that they sing And all the beautiful things That make you weep but Don't have to make you weak
Cause I never (x27) loved somebody The way I loved you.
