Not for the Love of a Woman

You laughed the day you left me

You were glad I was lonely and blue

But the good Lord won't let me suffer

Not for the love of you

The lightning pounded hard and steady

As far as I could see

But listen I'm not worried

Cause somewhere there's a love for me

These teardrops can not blind me

When they pass I will open my eyes

You won't believe me when I tell you

But not for the love of you woman

Would I ever destroy my life

Listen, I'll never dial your number

No, I'll never never knock on your door

Not for the love of you woman

Would I ever cry no more

Ummmm

These teardrops can not blind me, no

When they pass I will open my eyes

You won't believe me when I tell you

But not for the love of you woman

Would I ever destroy my life

But not for the love of you woman

Would I ever destroy my life

Can you hear me

Not for the love of you woman hey Lord

Would I ever destroy my life

Oh no not for the love of you woman

Ummmm no no no no

No not for the love of you woman

No no no no

Honey honey honey honey
