Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album the one She may be lost She may be out of bounds All her tenderness and charms could be something A man like me has never found But in her woman's way She's still a little girl The things that she wants, the things that she needs Oh well the choice is hers 'cause you can't take a woman When she doesn't want you And you can't be a man If you're blind to reason Man might be strong But true love is stronger You gotta play it straight When a woman doesn't want you Her voice invites Her eyes say more than words But her needs and complications Can tear away the memory of last night's girl And if you're weak Yeah we're all weak sometime The best things can wait The best times they come Oh when strength is kind And if you can't read her Leave her alone And if you don't know by now She's not someone's prize And you can't take her home
