she's always a woman

she can kill with a smile

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 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

yeah

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 will promise you more

than the garden of eden

then 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

oh

she takes care of herself

she can wait if she wants

she's ahead of her time

oh

she never gives out

and she never gives in

she just changes her mind

she is frequently kind

and she's suddenly cruel

she can do as she pleases

she's nobody's fool

but she can't be convicted

she's earned her degree

and the most she will do

is throw shadows at you

but she's always a woman to me
