I see a woman with no tears in her eyes
that very same woman is so ready to cry
she's got a laffy taffy man callin' her babe
I see a woman who's waitin' to be saved
the task is not mine, it is none but her own
but I'd don the armor, I'd give her a throne
for all that he misses, and all that she hid
I'd be the sole witness to all she just did
and all she will do I'd see it be done
and all that was two I'd let it be one
cause all a woman is, is all to be loved
to really love her at all is to love her enough
cause I had a woman, natural and true
that very same woman would've told me I do
but her man was a sucker who heard only noise
too stuck to believe that love had a voice
Though she sang and she spoke, and she kissed without words
some philosophers joke was all that he heard
she'd bare her whole soul it would seep through her skin
he'd look out from his hole and he'd crawl right back in
and all she does now is a mystery to me
she got herself out as I counted to three
and all a woman is, is all to be loved
to really love her at all is to love her enough
so don't waste your time, don't hold your breath
if you love a real woman, you love her to death
cause your sweet little stories and the mask you put on
lets you keep all the glory once the woman is gone
and you'll beg her come near, you'll beg on your knees
and the one thing you'll hear, you never listened to me
and with cynical ears, you climb out of your Hell
but the woman she ain't here, she's savin' herself
when you finally accept there are locks on her gates
make peace with regret and stop questioning fate
cause all a woman is, is all to be loved
to really love her at all is to love her enough
and it will drive you crazy, it'll squeeze out the tears
but that very same lesson has brought you right here
and now there's no candy to soften the blow
when you find love again, you finally will know
you'll see in her eyes, a limitless view
and what she believes in, you'll believe in it too
and what she believes in is your will to fight
the lingering demons that tease you at night
when you both lay together and all battles are won
you both have it all and you've sacrificed none
cause all a woman is, is all to be loved
to really love her at all is to love her enough
