I Hear A Woman

Gotta let go of my Attitude,

We all-know life ain’t fair,

I hear, (a woman)

Singing in the driveway,

Raining on my window pane,

She’s whistling to me,

Take this day to stay home (and take care of yourself)

Your such an ordinary woman

And He’s just a thumping crook,

Why should I expect he’ll understand-

Coffee,

Sunlight,

‘A smile

A laugh a kiss upon the forehead-

Goes-A long-Way,

Hear what I say,

Coffee,

Sunlight,

A little music playing,

That’s what I call self-preservation-

Goes-A long- Way,

Hear what I say,

My man don’t understand-

So I let the phone ring,

Let the rain fall down,

Let the world keep turning round,

Without-me

That’s what I call self-preservation-

Goes-A long- Way,

Hear what I say,

I put down My armor-
Took my name off the blame,
Stopped Looking for somebody
To make me feel Ashamed-

Life may not be fair,
But life is still mine—

And I don't wanna spend it
Being angry all the time,

(Over that man)

And he’s Just a Thumping crook-

Stealing time we could be spending,

Enjoying our time-

We got a bath tub baby,

Sometimes that’s All we need,

I’ll go get the candles,

And you can grab the champagne baby,

We got a bath tub

(Sometimes that’s All we need)

I’ll go get the candles,

And you can grab the champagne baby,

Look how I See our bath-tub

We can take the day off baby,

Why should I expect he’ll understand-

Coffee,

Sunlight,

‘A smile

A laugh a kiss upon the forehead-

Goes-A long-Way,

Hear what I say,

Coffee,

Sunlight,

A little music playing,

That’s what I call self-preservation-

Goes-A long- Way,

Hear what I say,

My man don’t understand-

…

You know…

Maybe that's the thing

I've been forgetting.

Love ain't always

Some grand gesture.

Sometimes it's coffee

Before you ask.

Sometimes it's sunlight

Coming through the blinds.

Sometimes it's somebody

Kissing you on the forehead…

Just because.

Sometimes it's saying

Baby, you stay home today-

I'll take care of the rest-

Mmm…

You say that’s love,

I say that's love to me

Mmm…

You say that’s love,

I say that's love to me

Coffee…

Sunlight…

A smile…

A laugh…

A kiss upon the forehead—

Goes—

A long—

Way…

Hear what I say.

A little music playing…

A little champagne…

A bathtub full of bubbles…

And somebody calling your name.

Goes—

A long—

Way…

Hear what I say,

Hear what I say

My man don't understand…

My man don't understand…

…..

Could've stayed angry…

Yeah, I could've stayed angry…

But instead—

I'm sitting by the window

With my coffee in my hand…

Watching the rain come down…

Mmm…

Could've stayed angry…

Yeah, I could've stayed angry…

But instead…[instrumental fade out]
