Discover the story of the song > If I Was Your Woman Unplugged – Alicia Keys

The lyrics of "If I Was Your Woman" talk about a woman who is in love with a man, but he is with someone else. The woman sings about how she would treat him better if she were his partner. She says that if she was his woman, he would have no other woman in his life and she would make him weak with love. She talks about how the other woman tears him down, but she would pick him up when he falls. She compares herself to a diamond and the other woman to glass. The woman admits that she is afraid to show her love for him, but she would never stop loving him if she had the chance.
