[English]

We're stormin', I'm Doc Winter, and this is new from Summer Walker

"Heart Of A Woman", it's fragile, so handle with care

Only thing that's saving you (ah-oh)

Is the heart of a woman (of a woman, yeah)

Only thing that's saving you

Is the heart of a woman

Question is, why I do the things I do

Answer, I may never find, but I'll always choose you

Wanna give up on you but, damn, I know I can't

I put the blame on me for giving you chance after chance

In love with you but can't stand your ways

And I try to be strong

But how much can I take?

Put your words on your life this time

And I hope your ass ain't lyin', 'cause

Only thing that's saving you (that's saving you)

Is the heart of a woman (yeah, oh-yeah)

It's my mind and my soul versus your pride

Nigga, check your ego 'cause I left mine at the door

Just because I let it slide, drowning in all my emotions

I let you slide in this ocean, I'm in

In love with you but can't stand your ways

And I try to be strong

But how much can I take?

Put your words on your life this time

And I hope your ass ain't lyin', 'cause

Only thing that's saving you (no, I can't take it no more)

I'm bound to walk out the door

Is the heart of a woman (of a woman)

Oh, oh-oh

Only thing that's saving you

Is the heart of a woman (ah, ah)
