Lyrics and translation Bonnie Bramlett - If I Were Your Woman

If I Were Your Woman

If I were your woman and you were my man,
You'd have no other woman, you'd be weak as a lamb.
If you had the strength to walk out that door,
My love would over rule my sense, and I'd call you back for more,
If I were your woman.
If I were your woman, and you were my man. Um baby.

She tears you down darlin', says you're nothing at all.
But, I'll pick you up darling, when she lets you fall.
You're like a diamond but she treats you like glass.
Yet you beg her to love you, but, me you don't ask.
If I were your woman, If I were your woman.
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do,
I'd never, no, no, stop loving you.
Yeah, yeah, um

Life is so crazy, a love is unkind.
Because she came first, darling, will she hang on your mind?
You're a part of me, and you don't even know it.
I'm what you need, but I'm too afraid to show it.
If I were your woman, If I were your woman,
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do.
Never, no, no, no, stop loving you, ah, yeah.
If I were your woman, here's what I'd do.
Never, never stop loving you if

Si j'étais ta femme

Si j'étais ta femme et que tu étais mon homme,
Tu n'aurais aucune autre femme, tu serais faible comme un agneau.
Si tu avais la force de sortir par cette porte,
Mon amour l'emporterait sur mon bon sens et je te rappellerais pour en avoir plus,
Si j'étais ta femme.
Si j'étais ta femme et que tu étais mon homme. Um chéri.

Elle te rabaisse chéri, dit que tu ne vaux rien.
Mais, je te remonterai le moral chéri, quand elle te laissera tomber.
Tu es comme un diamant mais elle te traite comme du verre.
Et pourtant tu la supplies de t'aimer, mais, moi tu ne me le demandes pas.
Si j'étais ta femme, Si j'étais ta femme.
Si j'étais ta femme, voilà ce que je ferais,
Je n'arrêterais jamais, non, non, de t'aimer.
Ouais, ouais, um

La vie est tellement folle, un amour est cruel.
Parce qu'elle est arrivée en premier, chéri, restera-t-elle dans ton esprit ?
Tu fais partie de moi, et tu ne le sais même pas.
Je suis ce dont tu as besoin, mais j'ai trop peur de le montrer.
Si j'étais ta femme, Si j'étais ta femme,
Si j'étais ta femme, voilà ce que je ferais.
Jamais, non, non, non, j'arrêterais de t'aimer, ah, ouais.
Si j'étais ta femme, voilà ce que je ferais.
Jamais, jamais j'arrêterais de t'aimer si
