A man explains that he understands what a woman might really need in her life, as she grows older and changes.

Lyrics

THE DAYLIGHT HITS HER EYES
AND SHE KNOWS IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP
NO TIME FOR ANY MAKEUP
'CAUSE THE MORNING'S ON THE RUN

AND SHE GETS THE FAMILY FED
AND SHE HELPS THEM ON THEIR WAY NOW
THERE ARE THINGS SHE'D LIKE TO SAY NOW
BUT THERE'S TOO MUCH TO BE DONE

THOUGH SHE'S AS STRONG AS STEEL AND AS GENTLE AS A ROSE
SOMETIMES SHE CAN'T HELP FEELIN' THAT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS

Chorus:
A WOMAN WANTS
A WOMAN NEEDS
SHE HAS A HEART THAT ACHES FOR PLEASIN'
SHE NEEDS FLOWERS FOR NO REASON
AND A WALK IN THE SUMMER RAIN
SO GIVE HER HOPE
AND SHARE HER DREAMS
AND HER LOVE WILL KNOW NO SEASON
GIVE HER FLOWERS FOR NO REASON
AND KIND WORDS TO EASE THE PAIN

NOW THE YEARS ARE FLYIN' BY
AND THE WORLD KEEPS GETTIN' COLDER
THE KIDS ARE GETTIN' OLDER
AND SHE KNOWS THAT SHE IS TOO

AND THOUGH HER LIFE HAS BROUGHT HER LOVE
IT'S NOT QUITE THE WAY SHE PLANNED IT
SHE TRIES TO UNDERSTAND IT
AND SHE DOES WHAT SHE MUST DO

ONCE IN A WHILE IN PRIVATE SHE CRIES SOME QUIET TEARS
BUT SHE KNOWS SHE'LL SURVIVE IT AND WORK RIGHT THROUGH THOSE FEARS

repeat Chorus

Bridge:
AND THAT MIRROR MAKES HER THINK SHE SEES HER BEAUTY SLIP AWAY
AH BUT IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW SHE GROWS MORE LOVELY EVERY DAY

repeat Chorus
