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 takin` 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...
