It Takes A Woman

It takes a dreamer To get this far from my hometown A real believer To look up when things are down It takes a fool to let a good life fall apart But, when a man knows something's missing in his heart It takes a woman It takes forever To get beyond the bitter years And if I ever If I ever get that far from here I can look back, and say that I survived But for a man to really make it in this life It takes a woman You can gain the world or lose your soul But if you don't have someone to hold You can't feel the victory for defeat Climb higher than you've ever gone When you reach the top, you're still alone Flying high don't make a man complete It takes a woman Any fool can let a good life fall apart But foolish pride can't fill an empty heart It takes a woman
