Calls when he says he will
And he shows up on time
Always makes sure I'm walking
On the safer side
Don't need to be made up
Or make up my mind
Could be going out til sunrise
Or staying in with a glass of wine
He loves the heart I wear on my sleeve
It's The little things that make me believe
He was raised by a woman, the nurturing, kind,
The one who listens when you have a hard time,
Someone who's sweet and never sour
The one you can call on any night at any hour,
Lovely and kind
No doubt in my mind, he was raised by a woman
She tells me the stories
He's always been the same
From a little boy in the kitchen cleaning off the dinner plates
To helping with laundry, making sure the beds were made
When she was running round like crazy
And wouldn't be home til 8
Now he does those little things for me
It's simple but it means everything
He was raised by a woman, the nurturing, kind,
The one who listens when you have a hard time,
Someone who's sweet and never sour
The one you can call on any night at any hour,
Lovely and kind
No doubt in my mind, he was raised by a woman
I've had a couple bad ones make me cry
Their mammas never taught them wrong from right
He was raised by a woman, the nurturing, kind,
Yeah, he always listens when I have a hard time,
And he's always sweet and never sour
I know I can call him on any night at any hour,
He's lovely and kind
No doubt in my mind, he was raised by a woman
Oh
Yeah
He was Raised by a woman
No oh oh
