If It Wasn't for a Woman - Kellie Pickler

I close my eyes and she’s right there

Barbie dolls and teddy bears

Picking buttercups from the yard

Putting them in mason jars

Tea parties and pecan pie

Make me think of her every time

Yes sir, yes maam

It wouldn’t be who I am

If it wasn’t for a woman

Leading me by the hand

Helping me understand

If it wasn’t for a woman

Teaching me wrong from right

Praying for me at night

I’d be half the woman I am

If it wasn’t for a woman

Met a man that treats me good

Opens my door like a gentleman should

She’d always said «Don't settle for less»

Sometimes when I miss her

I can still hear her sweet hearts

«I love you, be safe»

I wouldn’t be here today

If it wasn’t for a woman

Leading me by the hand

Helping me understand

If it wasn’t for a woman

Teaching me wrong from right

Praying for me at night

I’d be half the woman I am

If it wasn’t for a woman

She saw your face in a photograph

Asked «who is this beauty with a Bible in her hand»

I said «She's my angel and I’m the girl who wouldn’t know how to face this

world»

If it wasn’t for a woman

Leading me by the hand

Helping me understand

If it wasn’t for a woman

Teaching me wrong from right

Praying for me at night

I’d be half the woman I am

If it wasn’t for a woman
