Woman You've Been Dreaming Of

How can you throw twenty years away

What about your kids and the words they pray

I promise to be just like I was before

But you can't hold a man

When he's holding out for more

I found another letter in your shirt

I can't even tell ya what's left to hurt

From the top of my head to the soles of my shoes

Guess some women win

Some women lose

You've been talking in your sleep

Every secret that you keep

And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of

Every second of the night

I've been holding on so tight

Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of

I picked up your clothes from the laundry mat

Brushed back the feather from your hat

Washed all the dishes and swept up the floors

But you can't keep a man

When he's looking for the door

Anymore

You've been talking in your sleep

Every secret that you keep

And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of

Every second of the night

I've been holding on so tight

Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of

When you're calling out her name

I'll be taking all the blame

Cause I know I'm not the woman that you really love

And been dreaming of
