A Woman Wouldn't Be a Woman
The Complex Essence of Womanhood
Lyrics
(Woman, woman, woman)
Repetition of "Woman, woman, woman" sets the focus on the essence of womanhood.
(Woman, woman, woman)
-(Woman, woman, woman)
-(Woman, woman, woman)
-If she didn't roll her eyes
If a woman didn't express herself through eye rolls, teasing, feeding, and telling lies, she wouldn't be true to her nature as a woman.
Tease you, feed you, tell you lies
-Always act contrarywise
-A woman wouldn't be a woman
-If she didn't take your dough
If a woman didn't take your money, kiss you, coax you, and keep you on your toes, she wouldn't embody the qualities associated with being a woman.
Kiss you, coax you, make you blow
-Always keep you on the go
-A woman wouldn't be a woman
-Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
Reflection on the complexity of relationships with women, acknowledging the difficulty of understanding them fully, and referencing mundane elements of life ("Rag and bone and a hank o' hair").
You never really know a thing about 'em
-It's hard to believe that all that there is
-Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
-If she didn't make you sigh
If a woman didn't evoke various emotions, from making you sigh to taunting you, she wouldn't fulfill the role of a woman.
Make you laugh and make you cry
-Taunt you till the day you die
-A woman wouldn't be a woman
-Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
Reiteration of the challenges in understanding women and a repetition of the idea that life consists of more than mere physical elements.
You never really know a thing about 'em
-It's hard to believe that all that there is
-Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
-If she didn't make you sigh
If a woman didn't evoke a range of emotions, from laughter to tears, and continued to taunt you, she wouldn't embody the essence of being a woman.
Make you laugh and make you cry
-Taunt you till the day you die
-A woman wouldn't be a woman
-(No, a woman wouldn't be a woman)
Affirmation that even though dealing with women can be challenging, the love for them is essential for a man to truly be a man.
(But since the World began)
-If you didn't love 'em and want more of 'em
-A man wouldn't be a man
