If I Can’t Be Your Woman Lyrics

Young girls think love
Can be found any night
But a woman knows that true love
Comes but one time in her life
Oh, the moment I saw you
I knew it was time
That my life would be empty
Until I made you mine
But you said you were taken
And you walked away
But I know you felt somethin′
When you heard me say

If I can't be your woman
Won′t you please be my friend?
You don't have to caress me
Just hold my hand
If I can't be your woman
Won′t you please be my friend?
You′re the one that I need
My love

Oh, I wish I knew the right words
To make you change your mind
I would send them with flowers
I would write 'em all down in a rhyme
I don′t know where you've been
I can′t tell where you'll be
But I want you to remember
If you ever get free
So until then, be happy
And go on your way
And the words that you heard
Are still true today

If I can′t be your woman
Won't you please be my friend?
You don't have to caress me
Just hold my hand
Can′t be your woman
Won′t you please be my friend?
You're the one that I need
My love
If I can′t be your woman
Won't you please be my friend?
You don′t have to caress me
Just hold my hand
Can't be your woman
Won′t you please be my friend?
You're the one that I need
