When you look at me as if to say you need me
You don't know how close I come to giving in
But I'm trying to be strong to keep from doing wrong
And I wish you'd never come to me again
Cause baby, I'm only a woman
Only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
I'm only a woman
Only a woman
So please, till you're free, leave me alone
Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you
Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine
But darling, till you're free, please don't reach out for me
For I don't want our love to be that kind
Cause baby, I'm only a woman
Only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
I'm only a woman
Only a woman
So please, till you're free, leave me alone
Cause baby, I'm only a woman
Only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
