Woman
.John Lennon Lyrics

Woman
Acknowledging that women were previously excluded from contributing to society

I can hardly express
Expressing the difficulty in conveying his feelings for a woman

My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
Feeling regretful for not having appreciated the woman in his life enough earlier

After all, I'm forever in your debt
Acknowledging that he owes a debt of gratitude to the woman who has helped him succeed

And woman
Addressing his female audience with respect and admiration

I will try to express
Making a promise to try harder to show his appreciation and feelings in the future

My inner feeling and thankfulness
Acknowledging his thanks and deep emotions for the woman in his life

For showing me the meaning of success
Recognizing that the woman in his life helped him achieve his personal and professional goals

Woman
Reiterating his respect and admiration for the female gender

I know you understand
Assuming that the woman in his life can relate to his feelings and thoughts

The little child inside the man
Acknowledging that he has vulnerabilities and softness like everyone else

Please remember my life is in your hands
Recognizing the woman's importance to him and how much he depends on her

Woman
Repeatedly addressing his female audience with respect and admiration

Hold me close to your heart
Asking for emotional reassurance from the woman in his life

However distant, don't keep us apart
Requesting emotional closeness with the woman in his life regardless of physical distance

After all it is written in the stars
Believing that their fate is predetermined and they are meant to be together

Woman
Continued respect and admiration for the female gender

Please let me explain
Asking for permission to clarify his feelings

I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
Expressing his regret for any harm he may have caused the woman in his life

So let me tell you again and again and again
Insisting on conveying his love and feelings for the woman repeatedly

I love you, yeah, yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah, yeah Now and forever I love you, yeah, yeah
Reiterating his deep love and commitment to the woman in his life, now and forever
