Not For The Love Of You, Woman

(album: Plain And Simple - 1975)

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 wind and 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

I'll never dial your number
I'll never never knock on your door no no
Not for the love of you woman
Would I ever cry no more

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
No no not for the love of you woman
Would I ever destroy my life
Can you hear me baby
Not for the love of you woman hey Lord
Would I ever destroy my life
Oh no not for the love of you woman
Would I ever destroy my life
Baby not for the love of you woman
