[Verse 1:]
I see it in your eyes
I hear it in your voice
When we're saying our goodbyes, I can feel it
In my heart I know that things ain't been the same
I go on tryin to maintain but things have changed
I keep tellin myself that we goin be alright
If I just don't say a thing then we don't have to fight
Babe I can't put up with that, I'm not the type
Lately I've been holdin back, but not tonight

[Hook:]
Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
Tell me what's it goin be, be, be
Am I goin be the one gettin hurt
Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
If you want to be free, free, free
All you got to do is say the word

[Chorus:]
See a woman knows
When you're doin wrong
She can feel it in her body and soul
You can try to hide, you can try to lie
But she knows the truth cause it's in your eyes
And I'm a woman
And I'm a woman

[Verse 2:]
When I'm around you I, could tell that somethin's wrong
I've been so afraid to ask you what's goin on
Deep inside I know that, there's somebody else
Cause when I go to sleep at night, I'm by myself
I ain't goin sneak around and go through all your stuff
Don't need to find any numbers, I feel it in my gut
You always accuse me of things you do
It's your guilty conscious playin tricks on you

[Hook:]
Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
Tell me what's it goin be, be, be
Am I goin be the one gettin hurt

Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
If you want to be free, free, free
All you got to do is say the word

[Chorus:]
See a woman knows
When you're doin wrong
She can feel it in her body and soul
You can try to hide, you can try to lie
But she knows the truth cause it's in your eyes
And I'm a woman

[Bridge:]
It ain't about how your always with your friends
It ain't about what you do on the weekends
It ain't about how you stay up in that club (see baby)
See I have doubts cause you don't never show me love
You don't come home it's so hard to just explain (What happened)
You switch it up and it's me you takes the blame
It breaks my heart when you tell me I'm insane
You ain't got caught but see I recognize the game

[Hook:]
Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
Tell me what's it goin be, be, be
Am I goin be the one gettin hurt
Do you want me, me, me
Or do you want her, her, her
If you want to be free, free, free
All you got to do is say the word

[Chorus/Outro:]
See a woman knows
When you're doin wrong
She can feel it in her body and soul
You can try to hide, you can try to lie
But she knows the truth cause it's in your eyes




And I'm a woman
And I'm a woman
