Nikka Costa - Treat Her Right lyrics

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
