Strength Of A Woman Carpenters

You've been so quiet lately
Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue
You seem to be a thousand miles away
Don't look me in the eyes and say it's okay, don't lie

I got this funny feeling, baby
That it's going to be that time again
When you have the need for someone else
I know you better than you know yourself

Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
It's going to take the strength of this woman
To keep fighting for the loving of her man

And, darling, when you've been satisfied
And it isn't new to you no more
Think of me, I'll be here alone
Waiting for you to find your way back home

Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
To understand the weakness of her man
It's going to take the strength of this woman
To keep fighting for the loving of her man

I know how hard you tried to hide this all from me
But if you keep a silent heart I can't give you what you need
So hold me close and hold me tight
Let's say goodnight and never say goodbye
