A Woman Like Me

A Woman Like Me - Bettye Lavette

I don't want no roses

It's too late for sweet-talking now

Ain't no need you're comin' 'round here no more

'Cause this old flame been burned down

And you left me alone

In this cold empty bed

And a woman like me you left alone

Can surely be misled

Ah-oh you left me lonely

You left me one too many times too long

Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin'

Waitin' on a man who's never home

Home

So much promise in your words

So much fire in your eyes

So much of hard love when you kiss me back think it

You let our love just slowly die

And you left me here one more

And then another man came along

When a woman like me ain't getting no lovin'

She can't be too strong

Oh-whoa you left me lonely

You left me one too many times too long

Tell a woman like me ain't gon' be sittin' 'round here just waitin'

Waitin' on a man who's never home

You left me by myself too long

You left me by myself too damn long

I hear a different drummin' now

Marching to a different beat

Found me a man who's gonna be there for me

Learn who can shape this cheat

'Cause your love were nothing but a listen

Just a sad memory

And I haven't let go every single dream

That I had you and me

Oh you left me lonely

You left me by myself too many times too long

Tell a woman like me ain't gonna be sittin' 'round here just waitin'

Waitin' on a man who's never home

Oh-oh you left me lonely

You left me by myself too many times too long

Tell a woman like me can't be left waitin'

Waitin' on a man who's never home never home

No not a woman like me

No no not a woman like me yeah

No not a woman like me

No no no no no no

No no no no no no

Not a woman like me

Not to a woman like me

I'm gon' sit here by myself

Waitin' on you to come home

I ain't no babe just sittin' here

To doubt oh no to doubt oh no

Oh not a woman like me
