The WOMAN I love (Jason Mraz)




THE WOMAN I LOVE (Jason Mraz)

Maybe I annoy you with my choices
Well, you annoy me SOMETIMES too with your voice
But that ain't enough for me to move out and move on
I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love

We DON’T HAVE to hurry, you can take as long as you want
I'm holding steady and my heart's at HOME
With my hand BEHIND you, I will catch you if you fall
Yeah, I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love

Sometimes the world can make you feel
You're not WELCOME anymore
And you beat yourself up, you let yourself get mad
And in those TIMES when you STOP loving
That woman I adore
You can RELAX, because babe, I got your back
I got you

I don't wish to CHANGE you, you've got it UNDER control
You wake up each day different
Another reason for me to keep holding on
I'm not attached to any WAY you're showing up
I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love

Yeah, I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you, you're the woman I love



Happy Women's Day!

Phenomenal Woman
