Make Me The Woman That You Go Home To - Gladys Knight & The Pips

You promised me things that meant a lot

Said so much you just up and forgot

What you said to me, about me

You said, I was your strength, the air you breathe

So, help me, honey, you’re all I need

To make my life complete

Oh, yes, you did

So then

(Why, why don’t you?)

Why, why don’t you, baby?

(Make her the woman that you go home to)

Make me the woman you go home to

And not the one you leave behind

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Not the one you left to cry

(Make her the woman you go home to)

With a smile, I fix your evening meals

Iron your clothes, it ain’t no big deal

It’s all a part of loving you

(Loving you, yes, it is)

Stick by your side through thick and thin

Not laying awake to, ask where you been

Cause you’d tell me if you wanted to

(If you wanted to)

Oh, yeah

(Why, why don’t you?)

So, why, why don’t you, baby?

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Make me the woman you go home to

And not the one you leave behind

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Not that one that’s left to cry and cry

(Make her the woman you go home to)

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Make me the woman

(Make her the woman you go home to)

You go home to

Make me yours and you’ll be mine to keep

So full of joy, you wouldn’t need to be

On the other side of town

Fooling around

Total acceptance is all you get

Knowing this, you will never regret

Finding yourself all around

So

(Why, why don’t you?)

Why?

Why?

Oh, good God Almighty, boy

(Make her the woman you go home to)

And not that one that you leave behind

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Not the one that’s left to cry and cry

(Make her the woman you go home to)

I don’t, I don’t know what you want

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Make me your woman, oh, baby

(Make her the woman you go home to)

Oh, I don’t know why

(Make her)
