Strength Of A Woman Lyrics - Singles - Philip Claypool

Mama still loves me and Daddy don't care 

Mama always held me and he was never there 

Growin' up a lonely, I never had a hand 

Or someone to show me how to be a man 

But Mama loved me tender, put the shoes on my feet 

She gave me her all and it was all I'd ever need 

Oh, the strength of a woman, the touch of her hand 

The comfort of her kindness and the time to understand 

Her smile in the morning 

And when she tucked me to sleep 

Oh, the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need 

School was never easy and Daddy didn't care 

He said, son, you better make the grade or you're going nowhere 

So late in the evening and deep into the night 

Mom would ask the question till finally got 'em right 

Mama taught me so much and now I understand 

That the key to the answer is always close at hand 

It's the strength of a woman, the wisdom in her eyes 

The comfort of her kind voice that makes you wanna try 

And hold on forever and make your own peace 

Oh, the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need 

Well, I've known victory and I've known defeat 

Seen home fires burning and dead end streets 

Seen lone stars falling and the heavens up above 

But the thing that most amazes me is a woman's love 

Oh, it's the strength of a woman in the touch of her hand 

It's the strength of a woman that strengthens a man 

It's her smile in the morning, it's a kiss when I'm weak 

Oh, the strength of a woman is all I'll ever need 

Yeah, it's the strength of a woman 

It's the touch of her hand 

Yeah, it's the strength of a woman that strengthens a man
