Just Like a Woman
Lee Lyrics

Last night, outta the blue
I am recounting a conversation with my partner that happened unexpectedly and unprompted.

Drifting off to the evening news
I was in a relaxed state before the conversation happened, just watching the news.

She said "Honey, what would you do
My partner asked me a hypothetical question, which made me think about my life choices.

If you'd never met me"
My partner was asking me how different my life would have been if I never met her.

I just laughed, said "I don't know,
At first, I didn't have an answer or thought about how my life would be different without her.

But I could take a couple guesses though"
After some consideration, I took a guess at how my life might have played out without her.

And then tried to dig real deep,
I attempted to uncover the hidden thoughts and feelings I had about my life if I never met my partner.

Said, "Darling honestly,
I shared my honest thoughts and feelings about how my life would be without her.

I'd do a lot more offshore fishing
If I didn't have my partner, I would have had more time for offshore fishing.

I'd probably eat more drive-thru chicken
I would be more likely to grab a fast food meal instead of having my partner's home-cooked food.

Take a few strokes off my golf game
Without my partner, I would have been able to put more time into improving my golf skills.

If I'd have never known your name
If I never met my partner, I would not know her name or have any knowledge of her existence.

I'd still be driving that old green 'Nova
If I never met my partner, I would still be driving my old car.

I probably never would have heard of yoga
Without my partner, I would not have been introduced to the practice of yoga.

Be a better football fan
If I didn't have my partner, I would have had more time to follow my favorite football team.

But if I was a single man
I am acknowledging that without my partner, I would be a single man.

Alone and out there on the loose
I would have been single and free to make life choices on my own.

Well I'd be looking for a woman like you.
I expressed that if I was single, I would be searching for a woman like my current partner.

I could tell that got her attention
I noticed that my partner was listening closely to my words.

So I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention,
I added some additional thoughts after I noticed my partner's attention.

I wouldn't trade a single day
I am expressing gratitude for the time I have spent with my partner.

For a hundred years the other way."
I value the time I have spent with my partner more than any period of time without her.

She just smiled and rolled her eyes,
My partner responded playfully to my words.

'Cause she's heard all of my lines
My partner knows that I often express my love and gratitude toward her.

I said, "Come on on girl, seriously
I asked my partner to take me seriously, despite her playful reaction.

If I hadn't been so lucky
I express that I am fortunate to have met my partner.

I'd be shooting pool in my bachelor pad
Without my partner, I would have spent more time in my bachelor pad playing pool.

Playing bass in my cover band
I would have spent more time pursuing music without my partner.

Restocking up cold Bud Light
I would have had more time to enjoy drinking beer by myself.

Play poker every Tuesday night, yeah
If I didn't have my partner, I would be more likely to join a regular poker game.

I'd have a dirt bike in the shed
I could have purchased a dirt bike if I didn't have my partner to share my finances with.

And not one throw pillow on the bed
There would not have been decorative throw pillows on my bed without my partner.

I'd keep my cash in a coffee can
I could have kept my money in an unconventional place without my partner.

But if I was a single man
I am acknowledging that without my partner, I would remain a single man.

Alone and out there on the loose
Without my partner, I would be free to make choices on my own and live without attachments.

Well I'd be looking for a woman like you.
Despite the freedom of being single, I would still be searching for a partner like my current one.

She knows what a mess I'd be if I didn't have her here
I acknowledge that without my partner, my life could be chaotic and unorganized.

But to be sure, I whispered in her ear
I shared my feelings privately with my partner.

"You know I get sick deep-sea fishing
I shared a personal detail about myself with my partner.

And you make the best fried chicken
I express my appreciation for my partner's cooking skills.

I got a hopeless golf game
I admit that I am not good at golf.

I love the sound of your name
I express that I love my partner's name and the sound of it.

I might miss that old green 'Nova
Without my partner, I would still have an attachment to my old car.

But I love watching you do yoga
I express my love and admiration for my partner's interests and hobbies.

I'd take a gold band on my hand
I would rather have a wedding ring than remain single.

Over being a single man
I express that I value partnership over being single.

'Cause honestly I don't know what I'd do
I admit that I am uncertain about what my life would be like without my partner.

If I'd never met a woman like you."
I express that I am grateful to have met a partner like mine.
