When A Woman Doesn't Want You

Song byElton John
in AlbumThe One

She may be lost

She may be out of bounds

All her tenderness and charms could be something

A man like me has never found

But in her woman's way

She's still a little girl

The things that she wants, the things that she needs

Oh well the choice is hers

`Cause you can't take a woman

When she doesn't want you

And you can't be a man

If you're blind to reason

Man might be strong

But true love is stronger

You gotta play it straight

When a woman doesn't want you

Her voice invites

Her eyes say more than words

But her needs and complications

Can tear away the memory of last night's girl

And if you're weak

Yeah we're all weak sometime

The best things can wait

The best times they come

Oh when strength is kind

And if you can't read her

Leave her alone

And if you don't know by now

She's not someone's prize

And you can't take her home
