Lyrics

**Verse 1**
Hey, sweet woman, slow down a minute
I’ve been trying all night to speak
Every time I get close enough to tell you
My courage gets a little weak

You walk by like you don’t notice
But I know you caught my eye
And that little smile across your shoulder
Told me not to let you pass me by

I ain’t here with some rehearsed story
I ain’t selling dreams that won’t come true
I’m just a man who felt his whole heart change
The moment it discovered you

**Pre-Chorus**
I don’t know who disappointed you
Or made you guard your heart this way
But give me one honest conversation
Before you turn and walk away

**Chorus**
Hey, sweet woman
Won’t you look this way?
I’ve got something in my heart
That I’ve been trying hard to say

Hey, sweet woman
Don’t leave me standing alone
I don’t need one night beside you
I want a love that leads us home

Come on, sweet woman
Let me show you what I mean
You’re the finest kind of loving
This tired man has ever seen

**Verse 2**
I noticed how you help your sister
How you call your mama every day
How you listen without interrupting
When somebody’s got something hard to say

It ain’t only how you wear that red dress
Though, Lord, you wear it mighty well
It’s that quiet strength inside your spirit
That no mirror could ever tell

I’ve had women who loved attention
But disappeared when trouble came
Now I need somebody built for truth
Who won’t treat a heart like a game

**Pre-Chorus**
I can’t promise life won’t test us
Or every day will turn out right
But I can promise I’ll stand beside you
And never leave you carrying us alone at night

**Chorus**
Hey, sweet woman
Won’t you give me one chance?
Let me put my hand inside your hand
And start a real romance

Hey, sweet woman
I’m not ashamed to let it show
Something in the way you carry yourself
Won’t let this feeling go
