She's a friend she's a lover she's a woman she's a wife She's the answer prayer every lonely man dreams of She's a temptress she's a lady she's the mother of my baby And I thank God I'm a lucky man she's loved
Sometimes I lie awake and watch her sleeping And I just wanna bust and love drops fill my eyes I wonder what she'd think if she woke up and caught me weeping Cause daddys and heroes ain't supposed to cry You know the morning always seems to catch us laughing We got baby in bed between us safe and warm And I thank the Lord above for all the good times that I have Wrapped up in my woman's lovin' arms She's a friend she's a lover... [ guitar ] When the load gets heavy on my shoulders I can't keep the pace and need a place to hide I run home to my only little world take her in my arms and hold her And I soon forget there's another world outside She's a friend she's a lover...
