To Be Loved By A Woman Lyrics - Keith Whitley

I wonder if you realize 

How good it is to be loved by a woman 

A woman you can count on 

Even when she knows you've done her wrong 

The one who worships you in spite of that old rowdy ground 

That you used to walk on 

Who'll stay awake to give you help 

And thank the Lord you finally made it home 

Well, it's that woman there behind you 

The one who makes you who you are 

She's not the President's first lady 

She ain't no motion picture star 

But she's the one who keeps you goin' 

When you'd swear hope is gone 

She's the mother of your children 

Thank God she won't leave you alone 

So if your thinkin' how you'd like 

To shuck it all and get down on the highway 

Well, buddy let me tell you 

There ain't nothing left but leaving from then on 

You better wrap her in your arms 

And strap some good old fashioned love and honor 

Or else you'll stagger in some night 

And find an empty house that was your home 

But it's that woman there behind you 

The one who makes you who you are 

She's not the president's first lady 

She ain't no motion picture star 

But she's the one who keeps you goin' 

When you'd swear, hope was gone 

She's the mother of your children 

Thank God she won't leave you alone
