Ian Hunter – To Love a Woman

(Ian Hunter)

To love a woman

Lost and lonely through the night

My baby doesn’t hear me right

Cross my heart and hope to die

The words won’t come although I try

It’s there beneath me deep and strong

And when I speak it sounds so wrong

Oh cross my heart and hope to die

I’ll never know the reason why

You and I were so in love

And if the sun won’t shine

I’ll be warm enough for the both of us

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

Sometimes when I’m away from you

I love you more you know its true

Oh cross my heart and hope to die

This loneliness is good sometimes

And you’ll return smile over me

And I still can’t say what’s plain to see

But cross my heart and hope to die

You’ll never know how hard I try

You and I we fell in love

And if the sun won’t shine

I’ll be warm enough for the both of us

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

Loving a woman like you ain’t hard to do

You know it happens all the time

To love a woman another woman

To love a woman ain’t never been hard

(Cross my heart and hope to die)

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

So I’ll go on through this night

Wishing the words to come out right

Cross my heart and hope to die

This stubborn tongue’s gonna make me cry

Just accept me as I am

Understand I’m a quiet man

Cross my heart and hope to die

I dread the day you say goodbye

You and I we fell in love

And if the sun won’t shine

I’ll be warm enough for the both of us

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman

To love a woman
