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
