Philip Claypool - Strength Of A Woman lyrics

rate me

Mama still loves me and daddy don't care

Mama always held me and he was never there

Growin' up a lonely I never had a hand

Or someone to show me how to be a man

But mama loved me tender put the shoes on my feet

She gave me her all and it was all I'd ever need

Oh the strength of a woman the touch of her hand

The comfort of her kindness and the time to understand

Her smile in the morning and when she tucked me to sleep

Oh the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need

School was never easy and daddy didn't care

He said son you better make the grade or you're going nowhere

So late in the evening and deep into the night

Mom would ask the question till finally got 'em right

Mama taught me so much and now I understand

That the key to the answer is always close at hand

It's the strength of a woman the wisdom in here eyes

The comfort of her kind voice that makes you wanna try

And hold on forever and make your own peace

Oh the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need

Well I've known victory and I've known defeat

Seen home fires burning and dead end streets

Seen lone stars falling and the heavens up above

But the thing that most amazes me is a woman's love

Oh it's the strength of a woman in the touch of her hand

It's the strength of a woman that strengthens a man

It's her smile in the morning it's a kiss when I'm weak

Oh the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need

Yeah it's the strength of a woman it's the touch of her hand

Yeah it's the strength of a woman that strengthens a man
