I loved her in many ways, but I guess my love didn't show I always thought she would stay, never believing she'd ever go My gentle woman's gone, I didn't hear her go I wanted her to love me and she tried She never would have hurt me with goodbye A woman Gentle woman Oh, a woman, goodbye Can you imagine half a man Sometimes I feel that's what I am If it's all I ever do, she'll see that I am gentle too But now she's gone, I didn't hear her go I wanted her to love me and she tried She never would have hurt me with goodbye A woman Gentle woman Oh, a woman, goodbye A woman Gentle woman Oh, a woman, goodbye A woman Gentle woman Oh, woman, goodbye A woman... Oh, gentle woman
