You said I was the master of my mind
And sacrifices must be made with time
I was a creature of habit so benign
And excuses are no match for trying
It took a woman like you
To put me on the road to recovery
You said I was smoking in my own place
In a private fire
Drowning in the waters of false desire
You said I've been sleeping in the fury of doubt
Don't let the ghost of confusion turn your inside out
It took a woman like you
To keep me on the road to recovery
You moved my soul, surely it wasn't me
I was trembling in an uncontrollable mystery
Betrayed by the jester of uncertainty
Clinging to the hopes of immorality
It took a woman like you
To walk me down the road to recovery
You said souls are born in heaven
For they're born on earth
Open your mind's eye
Open your mind's eye
And shake off the hurt
You said I had played the fool for much too long
It's time to change the tune
And sing a different song
It took a woman like you
To show me
The road to recovery
, it took a woman like you
You said the big lie just can't last forever
You've got to help yourself
Or you'll never get better
You said you've got to look beyond the flesh and bone
Forget other people's ideas
And concentrate on your own
It took a woman like you
To guide me
Down the road to recovery
It took a woman like you
To guide me
Down the road to recovery
It took a woman like you
To guide me

I'll see you next time.
