(Ben Peters)

When you look at me as if to say you need me
You don't know how close I come to giving in
But I'm trying to be strong and to keep from doing wrong
I wish you'd never come to me again.

'Cause baby, I'm only a woman, only a woman
Can't you see my heart's not made of stone
Yes baby, I'm only a woman, only a woman
So please till you're free leave me alone.

Don't you know it hurts to know her arms will hold you
Don't you know how much I wish those arms were mine
But darling, till you're free please don't reach out fom me
'Cause I don't want our love to be that kind.

'Cause baby, I'm only a woman, only a woman
Oh, please till you're free leave me alone...
