- This Woman's Work Lyrics / with translationsPray to God you can cope, I'll stand outside
This woman's work, this woman's world
Ooh, it's hard on the man, now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have 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 of done that we never did
All the things we should've 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 little kiss, give me your hand
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that that you needed from me
All the things I should of given but I didn't
Oh, darling make it go away
Just make it go away now
This woman's work, this woman's world
Ooh, it's hard on the man, now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have 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 of done that we never did
All the things we should've given but I didn't
Oh, darling make it go make it go away
Give me these moments give them back to me
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that that you needed from me
All the things I should of given but I didn't
Oh, darling make it go away
Just make it go away now

This is NOT Maxwell's work, it is a cover he has done of a KATE BUSH track that SHE wrote and sang for a film. Check out the original version by Kate, it's much much better!
