Woman You've Been Dreaming Of

Written by Beth Hart
How can you throw twenty years away What about your kids and the words they pray I promise to be just like I was before But you can't hold a man When he's holding out for more
I found another letter in your shirt I can't even tell ya what's left to hurt From the top of my head to the soles of my shoes Guess some women win Some women lose
You've been talking in your sleep Every secret that you keep And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of Every second of the night I've been holding on so tight Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of
I picked up your clothes from the laundry mat Brushed back the feather from your hat Washed all the dishes and swept up the floors But you can't keep a man When he's looking for the door Anymore
You've been talking in your sleep Every secret that you keep And I know you got a woman you've been dreaming of Every second of the night I've been holding on so tight Cause I know I'm not the woman you've been dreaming of
When you're calling out her name I'll be taking all the blame Cause I know I'm not the woman that you really love And been dreaming of
