(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
I am woman, you are man
I am smaller so you can be taller than
I am softer to the touch
It's a feeling I like feeling very much
You are someone whom I admire
Still our friendship leaves something to be desired
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman you are man
I am woman you are man
Let's kiss
I am woman, you are man
I am gentle so you can be barbarian
I'm all pleats and pins and rouge
Mostly sham but ma'am
I love the subterfuge
Im am fiction I hope you are fact
Contradiction's what makes it a perfect act
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman you are man
I am woman you are man
Let's kissWhen the silence embraced you, did I
Leave you all alone to cry?
When it happens at all the same time
It never seems right.
When it's you against everything
You can't imagine,
(This is going through it?)
And it's me that runs to you
So I can listen (listen), listen (listen).
I'm tired of breathing for you,
So tired of breathing for you,
I'm tired of breathing for, you.
I'm tired of breathing for you
So tired of breathing for you
I'm tired of breathing for, you.
It's a shame that you never think twice,
If you only would realize what you're doing
You'll never have doubt,
No, you'll never have doubt.
When it's you against everything
You can't imagine.
(This is going through it?)
And it's me that runs to you
So I can listen (listen), listen (listen).
I'm tired of breathing for you,
So tired of breathing for you,
I'm tired of breathing for, you.
How did I get to be so lucky?
When all of the things I did mean nothing.
Everytime you needed someone,
I carried you all the way.
When it's you against everything
You can't imagine.
(This is going through it?)
And it's me that runs to you
So I can listen (listen), listen (listen).
I'm tired of breathing for you,
So tired of breathing for you,
I'm tired of breathing for, you.
I'm tired of breathing for you
So tired of breathing for you
I'm tired of breathing for, you...
