She may be getting somewhere, she may be staying put
She may be trying to reach you, she may be giving up
She may be trying to believe you or trying to deceive
Or holding on real tight, she may be threatening to leave
She may be picking up the pieces of what's been torn apart
And putting them together to find out who you are
She may be second thinking coincidence and chance
She might be into seeing her life before it happens
Oh the woman in your life
You gotta treat her right
She might be tryin' to know you one hundred years from now
She may be trying to forget you, she may be wondering how
She may be taking nothin' from you or taking what she needs?????
Or living her life for you or doing as she pleases
She may be learning this year to forget it all the next
She might have a good intention with a curse around her neck
She may be feelin' kinda lucky or swallowing defeat
Or wearing different faces for everyone she meets
Oh the woman in your life
You gotta treat her right
Sometimes her dress just don't fit right
Sometimes she's sick of the fight
And her lover just don't understand
The difficult days of a woman
You gotta treat her right
She may be close to the perfection you desire in yourself
She may be feeling sorry for you but never for herself
She may be putting up with living and working to the bone
Or staging a crusade before she gets home
She may be easily fooled and equally wise
Or trying to convince someone when she'd do otherwise
She might be feeling lonely with that smile upon her face
Or trying to intervene with the hands of fate
Oh the woman in your life
You gotta treat her right
