Alone One man, one man can change the mind of a woman if he tries He might use truth, he might use lies And it don’t seem to matter much of what he says or what he does As he tries in vain to show the kind of love he has to give And through a sieve, the words go down the drain Yes, men and women equal But we’re not the same Alone One woman, one woman all alone she can change a man She’ll do all that she can Trying hard to figure out what’s already been done Before he was her husband, he was just some poor woman’s son
And she’s not suggesting someone else might be to blame Yes, men and women equal But we’re not the same Alone We all start, we all start out alone and seek a mystery all our own So let the heart beat out its ancient tone And let all those lovers seek to find To open up their hearts and open up their minds And though one of them may take the other’s last name Yes, men and women equal But we’re not the same
