Karaoké I Can Be That Woman ABBA

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 I 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
