Dick Flood - Woman Leave Me Alone Lyrics

Woman, take a look at me
Woman, can't I make you see
That I'm only a mortal man
I do the best I can that I can do
That it's never good enough for you
Is more than I can stand
Life is not an easy game
It's full of work and full of pain
And I've struggled for so long
I need your love and faith in me
But slowly you're destroying me
Oh woman, leave me alone

Leave me alone; let me unwind
What a man needs most is peace of mind
And I'll never find it here
You keep me so mixed up inside
It's not my love; it's only pride
That keeps me hanging near
For the very things you saw in me
That made you fall in love with me
Are the things you now find wrong
I've tried to give you what you crave
But I'm a man; I'm not a slave
Oh woman, leave me alone

In your eyes, I've failed somewhere
And the thing we had is no longer there
Why don't I just move on
Our life is such a sad mistake
And I've taken all that I can take
Oh woman, leave me alone
