I walked half way across this town   Singing in the pouring rain   I knew someway somehow   I had to see your smiling face   Some people need some time   Some people need their space   But when you're not in my arms   You're too far away (for).      Chorus:   The love of a woman   The love of a woman like you   The love of a woman   There's nothing so strong and so true   I prayed to God above   And I've searched my whole life through   For the love of a woman   The love of a woman like you.      My friends all ask me why   I lay my heart on the line   But somewhere deep down inside   They know exactly why   When it don't go like you plan   There's nothing that hurts so bad   But when it works like it should   There's nothing on earth known to man (like).      Chorus:   The love of a woman   The love of a woman like you   The love of a woman   There's nothing so strong and so true   I prayed to God above   And I've searched my whole life through   For the love of a woman   The love of a woman like you.      --- Instrumental ---      Oh, I prayed to God above   And I've searched my whole life through   For the love of a woman   The love of a woman like you   For the love of a woman   The love of a woman like you...
