[English]

Whenever I'm broken

Honey, you heal me

When I'm in the dark

You are the light

When I get lost

You know right where to find me

When I have my doubts

You make me believe

And it takes a woman

It takes a woman

A woman who sees the best part of me

Through all that I am

It takes a woman

Oh, it takes a woman

To be all I can, to feel like a man

It takes a woman

...

You are my comfort

Whenever I'm troubled

When I'm alone

You are my friend

You make me high

And keep my feet on the ground

Whatever I need

You give it to me

It takes a woman

It takes a woman

A woman who sees the best part of me

Through all that I am

It takes a woman

Oh, it takes a woman

To be all I can, to feel like a man

It takes a woman

Oh, to be all I can, to feel like a man

It takes a woman

...
