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 got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
