[Verse 1]
Her eyes tell the story so well
She tries hard to hide
So little expected
Too often neglected
A woman stripped of her pride

[Verse 2]
Always so careful not to cry
Until I fall asleep
And there in the silence
She lies with a tear on her cheek

[Bridge 1]
The thought comes to mind
That I've failed somehow
For things I can't quite recall

[Chorus]
That a man without love is only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all

[Verse 3]
She knows I don't love her
Although Heaven knows I've tried
Her reason for living
Is to go right on giving
The one thing that she's been denied
[Verse 4]
Without any warning
In the wee hours of the morning
She cries
The hurt deep inside
She tries so to hide
Is beginning to show in her eyes

[Bridge 2]
And a thought comes to mind
That I've relive sometimes
For here it I can't quite recall

[Chorus]
That a man without love's only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all

[Outro]
Yeah, a man without love's only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all
