All Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's home again from another day
She smiles at him as he walks through the door
She wonders if it will be okay
It's hard for her when he doesn't respond

[Pre-Chorus]
He says: babe, you look a mess
You look dowdy in that dress
It's just not like it used to be
Then she says...

[Chorus]
I may not be a lady, but I'm all woman
From Monday to Sunday, I work harder than you know
I'm no classy lady, but I'm all woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one

[Verse 2]
She stands there and lets the tears flow
Tears that she's been holding back so long
She wonders where did all the loving go
The love they used to share when they were strong

[Pre-Chorus]
She says: yes, I look a mess
But I don't love you any less
I thought you always thought enough of me
To always be impressed
[Chorus]
I may not be a lady, but I'm all woman
From Monday to Sunday, I work my fingers to the bone
I'm no classy lady, but I'm all woman
This woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one

[Verse 3]
He holds her and hangs his head in shame
He doesn't see her like he used to do
He's too wrapped up in working for his pay
He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through

[Pre-Chorus]
Attention that he paid
Just vanished in the haze
He remembers how it used to be
When he used to say

[Chorus]
You'll always be a lady, 'cause you're all woman
From Monday to Sunday, I love you much more than you know
You're a classy lady, 'cause you're all woman
This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm

[Outro]
(All woman)
You're the only one (All woman)
You're a classy lady (All woman)
'Cause you're all woman (All woman)
So sweet the love that used to be (All woman)
So sweet the love that used to be (All woman)
Oh yeah (All woman)
We can be sweet again (All woman)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
