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 somethings missing in his heartIt takes a womanIt takes forever to get beyond the bitter years

And if I ever, 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 lifeIt takes a womanYou 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 completeIt takes a woman

Oh, it takes a womanYou 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 completeAny fool can let a good life fall apart

And foolish pride can't fill an empty heartIt takes a woman

It takes a woman

It takes a woman
