got no time for me, you say I should forget you
but there ain't no way

always too busy working hard
all you give me is your calling card
I had to talk to you so bad
I tried to tell you 'bout the dreams I had

but when I call you, you're so cold
everytime you put my love on hold
did you call for me, I guess not
another night that could have been so hot
I had my heart set right on you
guess you found some other thing to do

if you can't love me when you want, love me when you can (2x)

be my woman, be my woman, yeah (2x)
you got me where you want, baby here I stand
be my woman

I had to talk to you last night
said you'd be working 'til the broad daylight
all work and no play, what a drag
you could be riding in my brand new jag
when I called you this time
you said you'd come tonight and I felt fine
but then you rang back, what you say
"same time, same place, some other day"

if you can't love me when you want, love me when you can (2x)

be my woman, be my woman, yeah (2x)
you got me where you want, baby here I stand
be my woman

I've got the love girl, if you've got the time
got some wild ideas, with no reason or rhyme
if you steal my heart, it'll be alright
take it, don't break it, I'll be mad if you don't make it tonight, oh

if you can't love me when you want, love me when you can (4x)

be my woman, be my woman, yeah (2x)
you got me where you want, baby here I stand
be my woman

be my woman, yeah! (3x)
yeah, yeah!
