Maxwell - This Woman's Work Lyrics

Artist: Maxwell

Album: Now

Genre: R&B

  • Songwriters: Kate Bush

Pray God you can cope
I stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Oh it's hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father

I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left
I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lotta strength left
I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'

All the things we should've said that are never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go
Make it go away

Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me your little kiss
Give me your
(I know you have a little life in you left)
Give me your hand baby
(I know you have a lotta strength)
Give me your pretty hand
(I know you have a little life in you left)
For
(I know you have a lotta strength left)

Your lovechild
(I know you have a little life in you left)
Whatever you need
(I know you have a lotta strength left)
Give me your hand
(I know you have a little life in you left)
Give me your love
(I know you have a lotta strength left)
I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show baby
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'

All the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never do
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go away now
Just make it go away

    this song definitely reaches out to the heart. The lyrics may be from somebody who is grieving the possible loss of a wife, girlfriend, or a mother from terminal illness. Very emotion-filled.
