You've been so quiet lately   Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue   You seem to be a thousand miles away   Don't look me in the eyes and say it's okay, don't lie      I got this funny feelin', baby   That it's going to be that time again   When you have the need for someone else   I know, you better than you know yourself      Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman   To understand the weakness of her man   It's gonna take the strength of this woman   To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man      And darlin', when you've been satisfied   And it isn't new to you no more   Think of me, I'll be here alone   Waitin' for you to find your way back home      Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman   To understand the weakness of her man   It's gonna take the strength of this woman   To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man      Oh, I know how hard you tried to hide this all from me   But if you keep a silent heart, I can't give you what you need   So hold me close and hold me tight   Let's say goodnight and never say goodbye      Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman   To understand the weakness of her man   It's gonna take the strength of this woman   To keep fightin' for the lovin' of her man
