Verse I
The way you put on a smile
The way that you hold me down

The way you raised up our child
When I wasn't around


The way you choose to forgive
After all that I did
I barely feel like I man

Knowing who I am

Is half a strong as you

Half as loyal as you
I guess the best thing I could do
is love the way, you do


HOOK
Maybe I would be a better man

If I was half the woman
Half the woman you are
I would be the strongest man

If I was half the woman
Half the woman you are


Verse II
They say a woman is weaker
Say that's she not as strong

But it takes the strength of Samson
To take heartache this long


Never once did you cheat
Never once did you lie
Thought I was a man all this time

but now I know that I'm

Half as honest as you

Half as worthy as you
The best thing I could do
Is love the way, you do


HOOK


BRIDGE
If I had
Half your love

Half your trust
half your heart
half your emotions


half your tears
half your fears

half your pain
half your devotion


half your love
Half your trust
half your heart

half your emotions

half your tears

half your fears
half your pain
half your devotion


HOOK
Then maybe I would be a better man

If I was half the woman
Half the woman you are
I would be the strongest man

If was half the woman
Half the woman you are
