A Woman Like Me

Lyrics

I don't want no roses
 It's too late for sweet-talking now
 Ain't no need you're comin' 'round here no more
 'Cause this old flame been burned down
 And you left me alone
 In this cold empty bed
 And a woman like me, you left alone
 Can surely be misled
 Ah-oh, you left me lonely
 You left me one too many times too long
 Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin'
 Waitin' on a man who's never home
 Home
 So much promise in your words
 So much fire in your eyes
 So much of hard love when you kiss me back, think it
 You let our love just slowly die
 And you left me here one more
 And then, another man came along
 When a woman like me ain't getting no lovin'
 She can't be too strong
 Oh-whoa, you left me lonely
 You left me one too many times too long
 Tell a woman like me ain't gon' be sittin' 'round here just waitin'
 Waitin' on a man who's never home
 You left me by myself too long
 You left me by myself too damn long
 ♪
 I hear a different drummin' now
 Marching to a different beat
 Found me a man who's gonna be there for me
 Learn who can shape this cheat
 'Cause your love were nothing but a listen
 Just a sad memory
 And I haven't let go, every single dream
 That I had, you and me
 Oh, you left me lonely
 You left me by myself too many times too long
 Tell a woman like me ain't gonna be sittin' 'round here just waitin'
 Waitin' on a man who's never home
 Oh-oh, you left me lonely
 You left me by myself too many times too long
 Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin'
 Waitin' on a man who's never home, never home
 No, not a woman like me
 No, no, not a woman like me, yeah
 No, not a woman like me
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 No, no, no, no, no, no
 Not a woman like me
 Not to a woman like me
 I'm gon' sit here by myself
 Waitin' on you to come home
 I ain't no babe, just sittin' here
 To doubt, oh no, to doubt, oh no
 Oh, not a woman like me
