I woke up this morning,
dark cloud over my head, oh yeah
So troubled in my mind,
I just couldn't stand it, oh no
Planned on what's the rent,
you keep ringing my bell
Bill collector's calling,
wanna throw me in jail
I got only one reas
on to keep on livin'
One reason to keep right on givin'
Believe me when I say, hey,
it's the love of my woman, yeah
It's the love of that woman of mine, listen
The love of my woman is
everything I've got
Yes it is
A head to a poor boy like me
Is really saying a lot
The bright lights may not shine on my name
I got all the riches any
man can claim
She's the one thing that
keeps me alive
The only thing that makes me survive
Give me what I seek
It's the love of my woman, yeah
The love of my woman
Now listen
It's all I got to live for
The only reason I carry on
It keeps me going strong
Talking about the love, love, love
The love of my baby
The love of my woman
Brought me a mighty long way
Yes, she did
She kept me from drowning
On those cold, dark, and rainy days
Now listen, you know what?
Sometimes I get weak
But she understands
And I'll keep on holding
Through an unchanging hand
It's no wonder I keep on living
It's no wonder I keep right on giving
Give me what I say
Oh, it's the love of my woman, yeah
It's the love, the love
She's alright, she's my baby
She brought me a mighty long way
She understands me when I'm down
Picks me up, oh my baby
