Must Be a Woman
Transformed by Love: Must Be a Woman
Lyrics
My best friend, he's been cleaning up his act
His best friend is improving his behavior.
Mowed his front yard, even mowed the back
The friend is taking care of both front and back yards.
I can think of just one reason for all that
The narrator suspects a woman as the reason for the positive changes.
Must be a woman
Attributing the changes to the influence of a woman.
He picked up all the beer cans off his deck
Cleaning up after himself, including beer cans.
Even tried to wash the red right off his neck
Trying to shed stereotypical traits associated with rednecks.
He's put a little swagger in his step
Displaying confidence and a more stylish demeanor.
Must be a woman
Continuing to credit a woman for the positive changes.
Must be a woman, 'cause I can't think of nothin'
Reiterating the mysterious impact of a woman on his friend.
That would make a man do somethin' he don't always do
Expressing the profound influence of a woman's presence.
Must be a woman, she's really got him goin'
Acknowledging the transformative effect of the woman.
He's wearin' cooler clothes and he's shined his shoes
Noting changes in clothing and appearance due to the woman.
He used to stop and hang out for a few
Highlighting a reduction in socializing habits.
Now he's cut it down to one or two
Further emphasizing the friend's changed social behavior.
Must be good to have a good excuse
Suggesting that having a woman is a good excuse for changes.
Must be a woman
Reiterating the positive impact of a woman on behavior.
Must be a woman, 'cause I can't think of nothin'
Repeating the theme of a woman as a transformative force.
That would make a man do somethin' he don't always do
Emphasizing the mysterious nature of the woman's influence.
Must be a woman, she's really got him goin'
Reaffirming the woman's significant impact on the friend.
He's wearin' cooler clothes and he's shined his shoes
Highlighting changes in appearance due to the woman.
He's got himself a brand new set of wheels
Describing the friend's acquisition of a new car.
We've never even heard those tires squeal
Noting the lack of previous aggressive driving behavior.
That smile he's wearin' must come with a deal
Attributing the friend's happiness to a possible deal with the woman.
Must be a woman
Continuing to credit a woman for positive changes.
Must be a woman, 'cause I can't think of nothin'
Reiterating the theme of a woman causing unexpected changes.
That would make a man do somethin' he don't always do
Expressing the mysterious nature of the woman's impact.
Must be a woman, she's really got him goin'
Acknowledging the woman's ongoing influence on the friend.
He's wearin' cooler clothes and he's shined his shoes
Highlighting ongoing changes in appearance due to the woman.
Must be a woman
Repeating the assertion that a woman is the cause of positive changes.
Must be a woman
-Must be a woman
-A pretty woman
Specifically referring to a pretty woman as the catalyst for change.
Must be a woman
Reaffirming the belief that a woman is responsible for the positive changes.
