She's Always A Woman
Fyfe Dangerfield猀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Ooooh she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Ooooh and 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'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

Ooooh she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Ooooh and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
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

Overall Meaning

The song "She's Always A Woman" by Fyfe Dangerfield is a complex portrayal of a woman who possesses a range of qualities, which may seem contradictory. The song begins by describing her ability to kill with a smile and wound with her eyes, indicating that she may be deceiving and manipulative in her own ways. She can ruin someone's faith with her casual lies and be secretive, but always reveals what she wants them to see. Despite this, she has the innocence of a child, which could mean that she is vulnerable and delicate.


The song then goes on to talk about her capability of leading someone to love, but she can also take them back if she changes her mind. She can ask for the truth but won't believe you, and she takes everything that is free without batting an eye. She steals like a thief but is always a woman to the singer. The chorus also emphasizes that she is always able to take care of herself, is ahead of her time, and never gives out or gives in, but constantly changes her mind.


The bridge of the song highlights her frequently kind and sometimes cruel nature, and the fact that she is nobody's fool. Even if she throws shadows at you, she's always a woman to the singer. The song seems to celebrate the complexity of women and how they often possess both negative and positive qualities, which makes them all the more interesting and enigmatic.

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And 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 you
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, and 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'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

Many people may not know this, but an instrumental of this song was playing in the plaza of the WTC on 9/11. RIP to everyone 20 years later.

@aiden6354

Hearing a body slam into the ground about 6 seconds after the person started filming inside the plaza with the music is sickening. That footage has stuck with me for a while
