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

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 she never gives out

and she never gives in

she just changes her mind

and she'll promise you more

than the garden of eden

then she'll carelessly cut you

and laugh while you're bleeding

but she brings out the best

and the worst you can be

blame it all on yourself

cause she's always a woman to me

mmmmmhhhh

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's frequently kind

and she's suddenly cruel

but she can do as she pleases

she's nobody's fool

and 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

mmmmmmhhhh
