We talk as neighbors by the fence
The seasons come and go We've grown a little closer Now that we both live alone But we only find the time to chat In the middle of our chores Oh I can't help but wonder If we could find something more In a different light If you could see me In a different light As if we held each other Only just last night Could we find ourselves as lovers In a different light This morning when I stepped out For the paper and the mail You waved from your front yard Bad timing never fails In slippers and a bathrobe Oh how could you be impressed But just give me an hour And I could look my best In a different light If you could see me In a different light As if we held each other Only just last night Could we find ourselves as lovers In a different light In my mind I see us In a candle lit cafe Sharing tender moments That take my breath away oh In a different light If you could see me In a different light As if we held each other Only just last night Could we find ourselves as lovers In a different light |

Well I guess your showing me a thing or two
Loving with a vengeance Every night with someone new And I got this funny feeling It's for my benefit So I'm gonna take it As a kind of complement Oh I must be some kinda woman Look how many women you seem to need To take the place of one good one And give you what you have when you had me Oh I sure must be some kinda woman Since you need a different girl each night There must not be a one of them Knows now to do you right So add them little numbers Try and equal me Me I'm gonna take it As a form of flattery Oh I must be some kinda woman Look how many women you seem to need To take the place of one good one And give you what you have when you had me Oh I sure must be some kinda woman I've been looking for a chance we might Could get it back together Darlin' you've convinced me I could do a whole lot better Oh I must be some kinda woman Look how many women you seem to need To take the place of one good one And give you what you have when you had me Oh I sure must be some kinda woman Some kinda woman |

There's a woman at home, day after day
Takes the kids to school and there's bills to pay Sends her husband to work with a kiss on the cheek They get by, but they hardly speak at all They're built too many walls And she knows that things aren't right But she never lets it show And she wonders where he goes at night But she doesn't really want to know There's a woman alone on the edge of town Works a fancy job till the sun goes down She loves a man who'll never be free But she waits by the phone cause he promised he would call Why did she ever fall And she knows that things aren't right But she never lets it show And she wonders if he's home tonight But she doesn't really want to know It's a three way tie Nobody wins everybody cries Is anybody ever satisfied In a three way tie There's a man who means to do his best But when you love two women they each get less He knows his heart should be at home But his fire burns for the woman alone to he calls He's like to have it all And he knows that things aren't right But he never lets it show And he wonders how to change his life But he doesn't really want to know It's a three way tie Nobody wins everybody cries Is anybody ever satisfied In a three way tie Is anybody ever satisfied In a three way tie |

A woman can only lean so long
'Til the sense of who she is is gone I had a man that I leaned on for years I know he thought I'd never leave And I never really did believe That I would ever get from him to here Then I walked along And it made me strong To stand on my own and face my fears I had to go through hell But I found myself On the long hard road From him to here There were no signs to point the way It was step by step and day by day At times my faith just seemed to disappear But I never thought of turning back A woman's pride won't stand for that And I was bound to get from him to here Then I walked along And it made me strong To stand on my own and face my fears I had to go through hell But I found myself On the long hard road From him to here Then I walked along And it made me strong To stand on my own and face my fears I had to go through hell But I found myself On the long hard road From him to here |

I had never even been outside the county line
Unless you count the million times I left inside my mind In my day dreams I could see The way the luck would shine on me When I finally found the wings to fly As my mama helped me pack my suitcase She said you know I love you and I'll say it once more anyway So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue If your sunny sky turns gray Sometimes you gotta run To see just what you're running from Here at home there'll always be place for you If your greener grass turns blue I had tears in my eyes and a ticket in my hand To give to the man at the station I was so afraid that mama would say Something to make me want to stay But all she did was look at me and smile She said I believe that you can make your dreams come true But most of all I believe in you So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue If your sunny sky turns gray Sometimes you gotta run To see just what you're running from Here at home there'll always be place for you If your greener grass turns blue Sometimes you gotta run To see just what you're running from Here at home there'll always be place for you If your greener grass turns blue If your greener grass turns blue |

He calls to tell me he'll be late again
There's a problem at the office So don't wait up for him And I guess I shouldn't worry but I do Cause a woman senses changes Her man is going through He's changed the way he's worn his hair for years And bought some shirts in colors I've never seen him wear And when we touch that old time feeling's gone There's a problem at the office And it's hitting close to home There's a problem at the office He can't seem to solve And it's taking him away from Everything he loves Oh and if it's what I think it is It's gonna break my heart There's a problem at the office And it's tearing us apart I've only seen her twice He says she's new But there's something there between us And my heart feels it too Oh the way she looks at him it's hard to miss There's a problem at the office I think I know who she is There's a problem at the office He can't seem to solve And it's taking him away from Everything he loves Oh and if she's who I think she is It's gonna break my heart There's a problem at the office And she's tearing us apart And I hope and pray it's not too late To try and work things out There's a problem at the office We need to talk about |

What if we'd stayed together
What if we'd really tried Would we still be in Tennessee Would I have been your bride Would we be blessed with children Lovingly watching them grow Oh the hardest part of seeing you now Is knowing we'll never know We'll never know How much we missed By not taking love all the way If we held on just a little bit longer Where would we be today What if I'd been more giving And a little less bent on success Would you have been more willing to wait If I had answered yes Through the years I often wondered Why did we ever let go Oh the hardest part of seeing you now Is knowing we'll never know We'll never know How much we missed By not taking love all the way If we held on just a little bit longer Where would we be today For the rest of my life I wonder Why did we ever let go Oh the hardest part of seeing you now Is knowing we'll never know Knowing we'll never know |

You sit in church on Sunday
Running figures in your head You plan tomorrow's meetings As I slip off to bed No time for the children's homework Lord, you never take a rest You can't let the simple things Interfere with your success White collar man With a briefcase in your hand Can you hear your children call from your backyard They need you in their world right now More than things that you grew up without Precious time is running through your hands White collar man You can't unwind on the weekends Like you did in our younger days The deadlines and promotions I can read them on your face Your family need attention And you need some time alone What you gave at the office There's not much left when you get home White collar man With a briefcase in your hand Can you hear your children call from your backyard They need you in their world right now More than things that you grew up without Precious time is running through your hands White collar man Can't you see they need you in their world right now More than things that you grew up without Precious time is running through your hands White collar man |

I know I haven't said the words
The way I used to I should've made the time I know When I didn't know which way to turn I'd turn to you You always seem to know which way to go You know you always seem to see the best in me You stand by me no matter how things are If I haven't told you lately how I feel Let me tell you now what's in my heart If I could only be like you You always seem to see the good And then you make a dream come true And ask for nothing in return You always know just what to do You're someone I can look up to I'd be a better me If I could only be like you You know you've always seen me through The worst of times You have a way of lighting up the dark And though we're sometimes far apart Somehow I would cross the miles I still know you're never very far You know you always seem to see the best in me You stand by me no matter how things are If I haven't told you lately how I feel Let me tell you now what's in my heart If I could only be like you You always seem to see the good And then you make a dream come true And ask for nothing in return You always know just what to do You're someone I can look up to I'd be a better me If I could only be like you |
