This Woman's Work Lyrics

Pray God you can cope
I'll stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Ooooh it's hard on a man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the Father

I know you've got a little life in you left
I know you've got a lot of strength left
I know you've got a little life in you yet
I know you've got a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
All the things we should've said that I never said
All the things we should have done that we never did
All the things we should have given but I didn't

Oh darling make it go
Make it go away

Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me that little kiss
Give me your talking hands

(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Give me your hand baby
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
Give me your pretty hand
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Ooh you have a lot of strength
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
My loved child
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Whatever you need baby
(I know you have a lot of strength left)
Give me your hand
(I know you have a little life in you yet)
Give me your hand
(I know you have a lot of strength left)

Oh I should be crying but I just can't let it go
I should be hoping but I can't stop
Thinking and thinking and thinking
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
And all the things we should have done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things I should have given but I didn't

Oh darling make it go
Just make it go away

What is the Meaning of This Woman's Work?

In an emotional rollercoaster ride, our protagonist finds himself in the throes of regret and longing. The song is a poignant ode to the strength of women, and an introspective examination of a man's role in their world. He acknowledges his shortcomings - the unsaid words, undone actions, and ungiven gifts that now haunt him. As he pleads for a chance to rectify his mistakes, we sense his desperation to bring back those lost moments. His repeated affirmations about her strength and life left are perhaps his attempts at convincing himself more than her. The song is a powerful reminder that men too can be vulnerable, regretful and yearn for second chances in this woman's world.
