I know the best years of your life you've given them to me
And without a man to lean on a happy future you can't see
But try to understand my youth is whipping by me day by day
So woman woman get out of my way
Woman woman please leave us alone
She gave me love and understanding when you were leavin' at home
You hurt my pride that way Lord she stood beside me every day
So woman oh woman get out of my way
[ piano ]
Then years gone by I've tried to reach out and get a little love from you
But you know darlin' you were always too busy but more important things to do
Even though now too late you realize that you needed my love to stay
Well let me tell you somethin' woman woman get out of my way
Woman woman please leave us alone
Woman woman get out of our way
