A Woman Like You - Johnny Reid

I come from a small town, how 'bout you? I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave L.A. And I want you to come 80 miles North or South will do I don't care where, as long as you're with me And I'm with you, and you let me Let me love you like a woman Let me hold you like a baby Let me shine like a diamond Let me be who I'm meant to be Talk to me in poems and songs Don't make me be bittersweet Let me love you like a woman Let me hold you like a baby Let me hold you like a baby I come from a small town far away I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave L.A. And I need you to come (and I want you to come) I guess I could manage if you stay It's just if you do, I can't see myself having any fun, so... Let me love you like a woman Let me hold you like a baby Let me shine like a diamond Let me be who I'm meant to be Talk to me in songs and poems Don't make me be bittersweet Let me love you like a woman Take you to infinity Let me love you like a woman (let me hold you like a baby) Take you to infinity Let me love you like a woman (let me hold you like a baby) Take you to infinity We could get lost in the purple rain Talk about the good ol' days We could get high on something trippy Baby, let me count the waves Let me love you like a woman Let me hold you like a baby Let me shine like a diamond Let me be who I'm meant to be Talk to me in songs and poems Don't make me be bittersweet Let me love you like a woman

Looking out on the morning rain I used to feel uninspired And when I knew I had to face another day Lord, it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you, life was so unkind But you were the key to my peace of mind Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman When my soul was in the lost-and-found You came along to claim it I didn't know just what was wrong with me Till your kiss helped me name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman Oh, baby, what you've done to me You make me feel so good inside And I just want to be close to you You make me fell so alive Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman

You're driving me away, give me a reason to stay I want to be lost in you, but not in this way Don't think you quite understand who you have on your hands How can you not see just how good for you I am? I know that you've been hurt before, that's why you feel so insecure I begged you to let me in, 'cause I only want to be the cure If you don't choose to grow, we ain't ever gonna know Just how good this could be I really hoped that this would go somewhere Complacency is the worst trait to have, are you crazy? You ain't never had, ain't never had a woman like me It is so sad, a man like you could be so lazy Consistency is the gift to give for free, and it is key To ever keep, to ever keep a woman like me All you do is complain about decisions you make How can I help lift you if you refuse to activate the life that you truly want? I know it's hard, but it's not We come from the same place, but you will never give it up It's where they make you feel powerful That's why you think I make you feel small But that's your projection, it's not my rejection I put my heart on the line for the very first time Because you asked me to, and now you've gone and changed your mind But loving you was a breakthrough I saw what my heart can really do Now some other man will get the love I have for you 'Cause you don't care, oh-oh-oh Complacency is the worst trait to have, are you crazy? You ain't never had, ain't never had a woman like me It is so sad, a man like you could be so lazy Consistency is the gift to give for free, and it is key To ever keep, to ever keep a woman like me A woman like me (one more time) Complacency (woman like me) is the worst trait to have (woman like me) Are you crazy? (Woman like me) You ain't never had, ain't never had a woman like me (woman like me) It is so sad, a man like you could be so lazy (woman like me) Consistency is the gift to give for free...

Take that knife out of my spine And you'll know you got the best of me For the last time Save your precious little lies I won't waste another moment in the wake of your demise So long, you ripped my heart away Walk on, oh lord, I wish you hell I wish you hell, walk on out So long I wish you hell So long I wish you hell You ripped my heart away Oh lord, I wish you hell You ripped my heart away (Oh yeah) Oh lord, I wish you... Take one minute of your time Look at the wreckage of the ones you've left behind Face one lesson a lesson never learned You're gonna get what you deserve I wish you hell I wish you hell, walk on out So long I wish you hell So long, I wish you... You ripped my heart away Oh lord, I wish you hell You ripped my heart away Oh lord, I wish you hell I wish you hell, walk on out (walk on) Like you do so well So long I wish you hell So long, I wish you...

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
