When A Woman Doesn't Want You

She may be lost

She may be out of bounds

All her tenderness and charms

Could be something

A man like me has never found

But in her woman's way

She's still a little girl

The things that she wants

The things that she needs

Oh well, the choice is hers

'Cause you can't take a woman

When she doesn't want you

And you can't be a man

If you're blind to reason

Man might be strong

True love is stronger

You gotta play it straight

When a woman doesn't want you

Her voice invites

Her eyes say more than words

But her needs and complications

Can tear away the memory

Of last night's girl

And if you're weak

Yeah, we're all weak sometime

The best things can wait

Best times they come

Oh, when the strength is kind

'Cause you can't take a woman

When she doesn't want you

You can't be a man

If you're blind to reason

Man might be strong

But true love is stronger

You gotta play it straight

When a woman doesn't want you

And if you can't read her

Leave her alone

And if you don't know by now

She's not someone's prize

And you can't take her home

Oh, 'cause you can't take a woman

When she doesn't want you

You can't be a man

If you're blind to reason

Man might be strong

But true love is stronger

You gotta play it straight

You gotta play it straight

You gotta play it straight

When a woman doesn't want you
