man, what a woman

Singer:waterboys, the

she opens her heart with a slow reveal

man

what a woman

shows a treasure that's lain long concealed

man

what a woman

then drives away in a low-slung automobile

man

what a woman

she won't suffer pomposity

or tolerate hypocrites

she's got a bullshit detector

first class

and she keeps it lit

she's got cool taste in music

likes it rustic and weird

man

what a woman

her favourite singers all have sideburns or beards

man

what a woman

she loves the end of pale rider when clint eastwood sneers

man

what a woman

she's got a quicksilver wisdom

and a head full of spells

two or three children around her feet

and she raises 'em well

it's a lucky man who's ever loved

held or kissed her

man

what a woman

you ask me am i one

but i ain't tellin' mister

man

what a woman

if she was ever in any kind of trouble i'd be honoured to assist her

man

what a woman

she's the queen of the greenwood

she's pan's little sister

man

what a woman

she's married already

to someone righteous and kind

she'll always be beautiful

but she'll never be mine

what a woman!

what a woman

man
