[Verse 1]
I close my eyes and she’s right there
Barbie dolls and teddy bears
Picking bu*tercups 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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”
[Chorus]
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
