This Woman's Work

Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh!
«You'll have to wait in here.»
Pray God you can cope
I’ll stand outside
This woman’s work
This woman’s world
Ooh, it’s hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking:
All the things I should have said, but I never said
All the things we should have done, but we never did
All the things I should have given, but I didn’t
Oh, darling, make it go
Make it go away!
Give me these moments back
Give them back to me
Give me that little kiss
Give me your hand
(I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left.)
I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking
Of all the things I should have said, but I never said
All the things we should have done, but we never did
All the things that you needed from me
All the things that you wanted for me
All the things that I should have given, but I didn’t
Oh, darling, make it go away
Just make it go away now
