Women
An Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lonely women make good lovers
They're all at the mercy of a good lookin' smooth talkin' man
Lonely women make good lovers
So if you got a woman, better treat her just as good as you can

Lots of times a lonely girl will go out on the town
With no thought of evil on her mind
She don't try to plant bad seeds
Lord knows there's something every woman needs
And a friendly smile will do it every time

Lonely women make good lovers
They're all at the mercy of a good lookin' smooth talkin' man
Lonely women make good lovers
So if you got a woman, better treat her just as good as you can

Once a woman's tasted love
She can't do without it
She'll search for something warm when she gets cold
If her lips are wet with wine
And when it comes to lovin' time
She'll trade her pride for something warm to hold

Lonely women make good lovers
They're all at the mercy of a good lookin' smooth talkin' man
Lonely women make good lovers
So if you got a woman, better treat her just as good as you can
Yeah, lonely women make good lovers




They're all at the mercy of a good lookin' smooth talkin' man
Lonely women make good lovers
