Lyrics and translation Gladys Knight & The Pips - 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 overrule my sense and I'd call you back for more

If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
And you're my man

Yeah
She tears you down Darling
Says you're nothing at all (nothing at al)
But I'll pick you up Darling (pick you up when you fall)
When she lets you fall
You're like a diamond (shiny)
But she treats you like rags
Yet you beg her to love you
With me you don't ask

If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never no, no, no stop loving you

Yeah
Life is so crazy and 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 (I'm what you need) but I'm too afraid to show it

If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, no, no, no stop loving you

If I were your woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, never, never stop loving you
If I were your woman
You're sweet lovin' woman

If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman
If I were your woman, there'd be no other woman
If I were your woman, if you were my woman

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 tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Et que tu es mon homme

Ouais
Elle te rabaisse mon chéri
Elle dit que tu ne vaux rien (rien du tout)
Mais je te relèverai mon chéri (je te relèverai quand tu tomberas)
Quand elle te laissera tomber
Tu es comme un diamant (brillant)
Mais elle te traite comme des chiffons
Et pourtant tu la supplies de t'aimer
Avec moi, tu ne demandes pas

Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Voici ce que je ferais
Je ne cesserais jamais, non, non, non, de t'aimer

Ouais
La vie est tellement folle et l'amour est cruel
Parce qu'elle est arrivée en premier, mon 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 (je suis ce dont tu as besoin) mais j'ai trop peur de le montrer

Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Voici ce que je ferais
Je ne cesserais jamais, non, non, non, de t'aimer

Si j'étais ta femme
Voici ce que je ferais
Je ne cesserais jamais, jamais, jamais de t'aimer
Si j'étais ta femme
Tu es une femme douce et aimante

Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
Si j'étais ta femme, il n'y aurait pas d'autre femme
Si j'étais ta femme, si tu étais ma femme
