For The Love Of A Woman

(album: Joe South - 1971)

For the love of a woman
You walk the floor after midnight
Hurting all over
You wonder why she don't do right

For the love of a woman
You'll leave your father and your mother
Even turn your back on
Your little sister and your brother

You know you'd walk for miles
Just for one of her smiles, yes you would
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

For the love of woman
You forget your best friend, now
Even though you told him
You'd be true to the end

For the love of a woman
A man do right or wrong, now
But it don't much matter
He'd sell his soul for a song

You'd do all the chores
Even fight wars, yes you would
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

Lord, for the love, for the love, for the love
Of a beautiful woman
A man forgets all his being then
Do anything for kissing

Yeah, for the love, for the love, for the love
Of a beautiful woman
A man do most anything
For the love she might bring him, now

For the love of a woman
You leave your father and your mother
Even turn your back on
Your little sister and your brother

You'd walk for miles
Just for one of her smiles, yes you would
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

I don't know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman

Don't know what I'm gonna do
I feel the same way, too
For the love of a woman
