Women do know how to carry on
Well there won't be too much cryin' time alone
They'll be right back puttin' me and make up on
Women do know how to carry on
When she can't keep love afloat she will survive
In her soft and sexy way she's gonna shuck and jive
Wipe the tears and find the things that she needs to get along
Women do know how to carry on women do know how to carry on yeah
[ guitar ]
Never knew a man who could take a fall
They'll land right on their pride and then they waste it all
But even when the best she's ever had is gone
Women do know how to carry on
Women do know how to carry on...
Women do know how to carry on
[ guitar ]
They'll be right back puttin' me and make up on
[ guitar ]
There won't be too much cryin' time alone
They'll be right back puttin' me and make up on
Women do know how to carry on
