"Woman to Woman" Lyrics

Hello, may I speak to Barbara?
Barbara, this is Shirley.
You might not know who I am, but the reason I'm calling you is because
I was going through my old man's pockets this morning and I just
happened to find your name and number.
So woman to woman, I don't think it's being any more than fair to call you
and let you know where I'm coming from.
Now Barbara, I don't know you're gonna take this, but whether you be cool
or come out of a bag on me, you see it really doesn't make any difference.
But it's only fair that I let you know that the man you're in love with, he's
mine from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, the bed he sleeps in
and every piece of food he eats.
You see, I make it possible.
The clothes on his back, ha, I buy them.
The car he drives, I pay the note every month.
So I'm telling you these things to let you know how much I love that man.
And woman to woman, I think you'll understand just how much I'll do to keep
him.

Woman to woman, if you've ever been in love,
Then you'll know how I feel.
Woman to woman, if you were in my shoes.
Wouldn't you have done the same thing too?
Oh, oh, oh.

Woman to woman, can't you see where I'm coming from.
Woman to woman, ain't that the same thing you could've done.
Woman to woman, now should I dare step aside
And let her take what's rightfully mine?
Oh, oh, oh.

Woman to woman, was I right or was I wrong?
I ain't gonna let you break up my happy home.
Now woman to woman, now you see I don't want no trouble now.
I hope you understand I love that man and he's mine.

I'm talking to you woman to woman.
You should be woman enough to understand.
That man, I love that man.
Woman, woman, woman to woman, he's mine
And I ain't gonna give him up.
Oh, baby, I ain't lying now.
The best of my years living with that man.
I hope you'll understand.
