I Can Do My Best To Tell You What It Feels Like In My Skin
But You Can't Really Know A Man Till You've Gone Where He's Been
I Could Give You All The Details, But You'd Never Understand
What It Means To Let That Woman Slip Right Through Your Hands

I Guess You Had To Be There When She Smiled
Had To Feel The Passion Running Wild
To Really Know The Woman And The Child
I Guess You Had To Be There

Until She's Stripped The Layers Off And Seen Into Your Soul
Till You've Watched Her Make A Diamond From A Worthless Piece Of Coal
Till You've Held An Angel And Let Her Fly Away
You Won't Ever Understand No Matter What I Say

I Guess You Had To Be There When She Smiled
Had To Feel The Passion Running Wild
To Really Know The Woman And The Child
I Guess You Had To Be There

I Guess You Had To Be There When She Smiled
Had To Feel The Passion Running Wild
Till You've Walked In My Shoes For A Mile
I Guess You Had To Be There
I Guess You Had To Be There
I Guess You Had To Be There
