A woman needs your time not just your touch if you want her to feel safe and sound,
Anything less and you can count on this: trouble's gonna come around,
A woman's more than flesh in a dress, more than a happy bride who's been heaven sent,
One day you'll come home to the kiss of indifference and wonder where your happy bride went.

Another woman in tears again,
Another woman in tears again,
This is a problem crying out for resolution,
Don't mistakenly believe denial's the solution and don't reject her if she tells you how she really feels.

You give everything you have got to the work you love, then have nothing left to give your own,
But I'm telling you, don't buy her roses 'cause it won't mean a thing if what she needs is time with you alone.

Another woman in tears again,
Another woman in tears again,
This is a problem crying out for resolution,
Don't mistakenly believe denial's the solution and don't reject her if she tells you how she really feels.

Another woman in tears again,
Another woman in tears again.

You may live in the same house but your mind is a million miles away,
You know that you never think...
You know that you never think to water the garden,
Don't you know flowers won't grow that way'

Don't you know flowers won't grow that way'
They wont grow that way

Now your woman has learned the mystery of the male and all that the mystery entails,
"Steady as you go," - that's what mama taught,
That's all she knows, but it gets awful lonely in a word of "if onlys".
