Lyrics
Some people call me henpecked
'Cause I let my woman have her way
But they don't know that it's respect
That keeps me doing, doing for her each day
You see my woman
She carries this big ol' world on her shoulders, on her shoulders
And she never, never says a word
Not one word, not a word
And sometimes I stand back and look her over
I ask myself how does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it when? (I don't know)
She's only a woman (she's only a woman)
Uh, uh, yeah
Pretty little thing, just a child
Yeah
She's only a woman (she's a mere woman)
Uh, uh, yeah (woman she's only a child)
Du, ooh
I want all you men, you better listen
Listen to every, every word, I have to say (tell 'em, tell 'em)
If you want to keep, to keep your baby
You got to respect, the things she do each day
Things like, things like
Carrying, carrying this great, big ol' world on her shoulders, on her shoulders
And never, never, never, never say not a word
Not one word, not a word, not a word
And, sometimes I stand back and look over
And I ask myself how does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
When she's (She's) only a woman (only a woman), she's only a woman
Uh, uh, yeah (fine, fine, fine)
Oh-oh, oh she's just a child oh-oh (I say that she)
She's only a woman (my woman, my woman, she's only a woman)
Uh baby, lovely child
Full grown, full-grown
Aw little girl is just a tender one
(Baby she's only a woman) just a little lonely child
Only a woman
Mine, mine
Only a woman (fine)
Hey, she's only a child (she's running wild)
She'll walk around with this
Great big ol' world on her shoulders
And I'm so proud of her 'cause she's only a woman
Yeah, only a child
That's what keeps me doin', doin' for her every day yeah
I don't care, I don't care what you got to say (only a woman)
Sweet as a honeybee
Only a woman (and I love her) Fine, fine
(Just because) only a woman
(I need her, need her) only a woman
(And I love her) she's fine, fine
(Only a woman) I don't care who you call we getting fixed up here
(Only a woman) she's mine
'Cause I let my woman have her way
But they don't know that it's respect
That keeps me doing, doing for her each day
You see my woman
She carries this big ol' world on her shoulders, on her shoulders
And she never, never says a word
Not one word, not a word
And sometimes I stand back and look her over
I ask myself how does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it when? (I don't know)
She's only a woman (she's only a woman)
Uh, uh, yeah
Pretty little thing, just a child
Yeah
She's only a woman (she's a mere woman)
Uh, uh, yeah (woman she's only a child)
Du, ooh
I want all you men, you better listen
Listen to every, every word, I have to say (tell 'em, tell 'em)
If you want to keep, to keep your baby
You got to respect, the things she do each day
Things like, things like
Carrying, carrying this great, big ol' world on her shoulders, on her shoulders
And never, never, never, never say not a word
Not one word, not a word, not a word
And, sometimes I stand back and look over
And I ask myself how does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
How does she do it? (I don't know)
When she's (She's) only a woman (only a woman), she's only a woman
Uh, uh, yeah (fine, fine, fine)
Oh-oh, oh she's just a child oh-oh (I say that she)
She's only a woman (my woman, my woman, she's only a woman)
Uh baby, lovely child
Full grown, full-grown
Aw little girl is just a tender one

Only a woman
Mine, mine
Only a woman (fine)
Hey, she's only a child (she's running wild)

Great big ol' world on her shoulders
And I'm so proud of her 'cause she's only a woman
