Lyrics Robert Cray

Robert Cray

Nothin' But a Woman

You can give me an hour alone in a bank

Pay all my tickets, wipe the slate blank

You could buy me a car, fill up the tank

Tell me a boat full of lawyers just sank

But it ain't nothin' but a woman

Nothin' but a woman, no, no

Don't need nothin' but a woman

Any time I'm feelin' low

Well, you could fly us to Dallas on a jumbo-jet plane

If we run late and miss it, we can take the night train

When the pressure is on, things getting insane

Only one cure for that kind of strain

It ain't nothin' but a woman

Nothin' but a woman, no, no

Don't need nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah

To get me through the show

Yeah, you can make me a bet, give me a ten-point spread

Give me french brandy that will clear my head

When it's all over, feeling half-dead

Only one thing, just like I said

It ain't nothin' but a woman

Nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah

Any time I got a woman

Things can't be too bad

You can buy me a house, turn over the deed

Bring six pounds of California weed

But my weakness ain't drugs, whiskey, or greed

Only one thing that YOUNG BOB needs

It ain't nothin' but a woman

Nothin' but a woman

Yeah, you right

Ain't nothin' but a woman to get me through the night

Mmmmm

It's like I said, man

Ain't nothin' but a woman

Yeah, look at her

And that one over there
