About Woman Lives for Love

"A Woman Lives for Love" is a song written by George Richey, Glenn Sutton, and Norro Wilson. It was recorded and released as a single by American country, rock, and Christian artist, Wanda Jackson. The song was recorded at the Columbia Recording Studio on December 11, 1969, in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. "A Woman Lives for Love" was officially released as a single in March 1970, peaking at number seventeen on the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles chart. The song was issued on Jackson's 1970 studio album of the same name. The song earned Jackson a Grammy award nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 1971. Jackson lost the award to Lynn Anderson for her monster hit ""Rose Garden." Ironically, "A Woman Lives for Love" may be best known by its cover version recorded by Anderson (who husband at the time was married to co-writer Sutton) which appeared on three albums in the early 1970s "Stay There Til I Get There", The World of Lynn Anderson, and the budget album also titled "A Woman Lives For Love".

I don't mind waiting up for you late hours and I always try to smile when you come in
I don't mind getting up so early get the kids to school and you off to work again
Sometimes a woman's life is not so easy and the man at times is hard to understand
And I can tell sometimes you think you faild me
But in your way I know you do the best you can
So I'll do anything for you anything you want me to
And never once will you hear me complain
For my day is made at night when you kiss and hold me tight
And say you love me cause a woman lives for love
Yes I'll do anything for you...
Yes I'll do anything for you...
