Lời bài hát I Can Be That Woman

You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
And she looks straight up at me
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
But the pain
That I feel is real
She jumps down
And her tail is swishing
Like a feather right under your nose
And then you wake up
And you're bleary-eyed
I say I'm sorry
I can see you've cried
You look frail
As you stand before me
Then you curse
And kick a chair
And the dog
Bless her heart
Licks my fingers
But she jerks
Every time you swear
I feel sick
And my hands are shaking
This is how
All our fights have begun
You say you've had it
And you say Screw you
I say love you
And I know it's true
You're not the man
You should have been
I let you down somehow
I'm not the woman
I could have been
But I can be that woman now
You're confused
When you turn to face me
Is it true or is she drunk
But it's clear
That I've hit my rock bottom
I'm aware of
How far I've sunk
And the dog
Is the first to feel it
There's a shimmer
Of hope in your eyes
You can't believe it
But you're close to tears
Oh God I'm sorry
For the wasted years
You're not the man
You should have been
I let you down somehow
I'm not the woman
I could have been
But I can be that woman now
