You can give me an hour alone in a bank 
Pay all my tickets, wipe the slate blank 
You could buy me a car, fill up the tank 
Tell me a boat full of lawyers just sank 
But it ain't nothin' but a woman 
Nothin' but a woman, no, no 
Don't need nothin' but a woman 
Any time I'm feelin' low 

Well, you could fly us to Dallas on a jumbo-jet plane 
If we run late and miss it, we can take the night train 
When the pressure is on, things getting insane 
Only one cure for that kind of strain 

It ain't nothin' but a woman 
Nothin' but a woman, no, no 
Don't need nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah 
To get me through the show 

Yeah, you can make me a bet, give me a ten-point spread 
Give me french brandy that will clear my head 
When it's all over, feeling half-dead 
Only one thing, just like I said 

It ain't nothin' but a woman 
Nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah 
Any time I got a woman 
Things can't be too bad 

You can buy me a house, turn over the deed 
Bring six pounds of California weed 
But my weakness ain't drugs, whiskey, or greed 
Only one thing that YOUNG BOB needs 

It ain't nothin' but a woman 
Nothin' but a woman 
Yeah, you right 
Ain't nothin' but a woman to get me through the night 

Mmmmm 

It's like I said, man 
Ain't nothin' but a woman 

Yeah, look at her 

And that one over there
