You see the pictures in black and white 
I see the colours painted in between
You need acceptance and admiration 
It's validation, caring love I need 
It's validation, caring love Ineed

chorus
It takes a woman to understand the way I feel
It takes a Woman to know that everything I try to say is real
It takes a woman, It takes a woman, It takes a woman to know

When you're withdrawing into some dark cave 
And want to solve your problems all alone
While I'm compromising ,apologising
Were very different creatures you and I
Were very different creatures you and I 

CHORUS repeat
