Feeling Like a Woman

When you put me down the word got around and it wasn't long until I found

Every man that came around had one thing on his mind

They looked at me like so much dirt which only added to the hurt

I never knew the world was so unkind

I went to work in a tavern the hours were long and the pay was short

And I waited hoping you'd walk through the door

In just one night I overheard more sly remarks and dirty words

Than I'd ever heard in my whole life before

And if I ever needed someone it was then

If not to love me to least have been my friend

That's when he came to me and picked me up from where you let me fall

And had me right back feeling like a woman in no time at all

And when I really needed someone where were you

Who were you holding when my world was falling through

He stood beside me when you left me standing back against the wall

And had me right back feeling like a woman

Had me right back feeling like a woman after all
