I close my eyes and she's right there
Barbie dolls and teddy bears
Picking buttercups from the yard
Putting them in mason jars
Tea parties and pecan pie
Make me think of her every time
Yes sir, yes maam
It wouldn't be who I am
If it wasn't for a woman
Leading me by the hand
Helping me understand
If it wasn't for a woman
Teaching me wrong from right
Praying for me at night
I'd be half the woman I am
If it wasn't for a woman
Met a man that treats me good
Opens my door like a gentleman should
She'd always said: Don't settle for less
Sometimes when I miss her
I can still hear her sweet hearts
I love you, be safe
I wouldn't be here today
If it wasn't for a woman
Leading me by the hand
Helping me understand
If it wasn't for a woman
Teaching me wrong from right
Praying for me at night
I'd be half the woman I am
If it wasn't for a woman
She saw your face in a photograph
Asked: Who is this beauty with a bible in her hand?
I said: She's my angel and I'm the girl
Who wouldn't know how to face this world
If it wasn't for a woman
Leading me by the hand
Helping me understand
If it wasn't for a woman
Teaching me wrong from right
Praying for me at night
I'd be half the woman I am
If it wasn't for a woman
