Without a Woman

Picture this: coming home from a long day’s work, no food is left
Picture this: steady tryna show the world of your worth and nobody cares
Picture this: no kissing, ain’t no touching, there’s no hugging
And in the evening no good loving
Ain’t no pretty picture you can paint
Ain’t no way this life would be the same
I’m telling you a man can’t be a man without a woman, no
And you can try as hard as you can but we ain’t nothing without a woman, nothing
Living in a world so cold, so cold, cold
The fire burns through my soul, without a woman
What if you, had no hands to rub upon your shoulders
And in the morning she’s not there to fix your Folgers
You’re sick as a dog right now
Kids running all around the house, no one to help you out
Picture this: you paying these bills all by yourself
No one to tell you, «Watch your health», but keep fucking up, you might as well
Picture this: 'cause your world don’t spin without her
And hers gon' spin without you
Ain’t no pretty picture you can paint
Ain’t no way this life would be the same
I’m telling you a man can’t be a man without a woman, no
And you can try as hard as you can but we ain’t nothing without a woman, nothing
Living in a world so cold, so cold, cold
The fire burns through my soul, without a woman
Say hello to pain, goodbye to love
Hello to rain, the sun won’t ever shine again
There’ll be no Wednesday movie nights
No make-ups after fights
Girl, I’ll make it right
I’m all lonely with my pillow
Your car’s not in the driveway, clothes ain’t in the closet
Girl, I’m broken-hearted, come and find me 'cause I’m lost without my woman
And I know that a man can’t be a man without a woman
You can try hard as you can, without a woman, nothing
Living in a world so cold, cold
The fire burns through my soul, without my woman
See baby, life ain’t life
And living ain’t living without my woman
I’m hurting inside
Without my woman no, no, no
