Every time you hurt me, it's the same old thing.
 I wipe away my tears, sit down in front of the mirror,
 And fix my face.
 That's when you say you're sorry an' get down on your knees:
 I always give you one more chance to make it up to me.
 Oh, baby, if I didn't, what kind of woman would I be?

 If I forgot about us, an', just for once, thought about me,
 What kind of woman would I be?
 Out on my own, would I make a fresh start?
 Find somebody knew, or would I fall apart?
 Some women move on, exceed their dreams,
 While others spend their lives lonely.
 If tonight, I were to pack my bags an' leave,
 What kind of woman would I be?

 Would I turn out like Tina Murphy, you know, after she left Steve?
 She went back to college, she'll graduate this autumn,
 I thought she'd never leave.
 Would I be like my friend, Brenda, who hates livin' alone?
 She calls me every night, cryin' on the 'phone.
 If I stopped cookin' your supper, an' grabbed my my kids,
 What kind of woman would I be?

 If I forgot about us, an', just for once, thought about me,
 What kind of woman would I be?
 Out on my own, would I make a fresh start?
 Find somebody knew, or would I fall apart?
 Some women move on, exceed their dreams,
 While others spend their lives lonely.
 If tonight, I were to pack my bags an' leave,
 What kind of woman would I be?

 If tonight, I were to pack my bags an' leave,
 What kind of woman would I be?
