Lately I've been told 'bout the distance that we feel*
Whenever words are hard to find
About the tears and the wounds that never heal
How emotions leave us blind

How every time what we believe we find the way
We hurt each other with the things we never say

Tell me when a woman loves a man
Why is it so hard to understand
When she's giving everything she can
It's still not enough
Maybe it's the heart we have to blame
When we turn the words around again
But I know it will always be the same
When there is love
When a woman loves a man

Maybe paradise is the promise in her eyes
maybe heaven's in her smile
So many broken roads always leading to goodbye
Pretending she'll be gone a while

I don't believe that the music goes away
I do believe it's getting stronger every day

Tell me when a woman loves a man...

And sometimes there's - there's confusion in our way
We need each other more and more
To take away the pain - and make the feeling right
I wanna feel that way tonight

Tell me when a woman loves a man...
