G                                                 D7
Her eyes tell the story so well she tries hard to hide
                                                               G
So little expected too often neglected a woman stripped of her pride
                                          D7
Always so careful not to cry until I fall asleep
                                                        G
And there in the silence she lies with the tears on her cheek

                               C
A thought comes to mind that I read it somehow
   D7                    G
Or hear it I can't quite recall
                               C
That a man without love's only half of a man
      D7                  G
But a woman is nothing at all

                                                          D7
She knows I don't love her although heaven knows how I've tried

Her reason for living is to go right on giving
                            G
One thing that's she's been denied
                                                        D7
Without any warning in the wee hours of the morning she cries

Hurt deep inside that she's tried so to hide
                            G
Is beginning to show in her eyes

Yeah a man without love's only half of a man
      D7                  C  G
But a woman is nothing at a-ll
