Maxwell - This Woman's Work Lyrics

Maxwell Lyrics

"This Woman's Work"

Oh, oh
Oh-oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh
Oh-ooh

Pray God you can cope
I'll stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Ooh, it's hard on a man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the Father

I know you've got a little life in you yet
And I know you've got a lot of strength left
I know you've got a little life in you yet
And I know you've got a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
And all the things we should have done that we never did
All the things we should have given but I didn't
Oh darling, make it go
Make it go away

Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me that little kiss
Give me your

(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Give me your hand, baby
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
Give me that pretty hand
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Ooh, surely you'll understand
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
You're loved, child
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Whatever you need, baby
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
Give me your hand
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Give me your hand
(I know you have a lot of strength left)

Oh, I should be crying but I just can't let it go
I should be hoping but I can't stop
Thinking and thinking and thinking
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
And all the things we should have done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things I should have given but I didn't
Oh darling make it go
Just make it go away
