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 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 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
