She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes.
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
She can wound with her eyes.
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me.
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me.
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you.
And she'll take what you give her,
As long as it's free.
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me.
Oh, she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants.
She's ahead of her time.
Oh, and she never gives out,
And she never gives in,
She just changes her mind.
She'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden.
She'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
She can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you.
And she'll take what you give her,
As long as it's free.
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me.
Oh, she takes care of herself.
She can wait if she wants.
She's ahead of her time.
Oh, and she never gives out,
And she never gives in,
She just changes her mind.
She'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden.
She'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me.
Hmmm, mmm, mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time.
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind.
She's frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me.
Hmmm, mmm, mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time.
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind.
She's frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
