The old man leaned over and he asked me:
"What's got you lookin' so down?"
I said, "There's problems at home, some things you wouldn't understand"
Said, "Son I've seen a lot in my life
"And there's one thing I've come to know
"There's only one thing that can put that kinda look on a man"
"It's always a woman
"It's always a woman
"Just take a look at my face and make no mistake
"Well, it's always a woman"
He said "Son let me tell you my story
"Somethin' every man should know
"There was a time I was time standin' on the edge, lookin' down
"And I felt a hand on my shoulder
"And a voice that whispered in my ear
"I got there on my own, but there was only one thing turned me around"
"It's always a woman
"It's always a woman
"Just take a look at my face and make no mistake
"Well it's always a woman"
So I went back home and I held her
We didn't have to say a word
She just cried and she smiled and she wiped those tears from our eyes
So next time I'm feelin' sorry
For myself I hope I understand
There's only one thing between the devil and a good man
It's always a woman
It's always a woman
Just take a look at my face and make no mistake
Well it's always a woman
