She's Always A Woman
Fyfe Dangerfield 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

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

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

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

She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
But 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





Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Overall Meaning

The song "She's Always a Woman" by Fyfe Dangerfield is a classic love song with a twist. The lyrics describe a woman who is both strong and enigmatic, with the power to both love and hurt. The opening lines of the song introduce the idea that this woman can be dangerous, even as she appears innocent and childlike. Her smile can kill, and her eyes can wound, suggesting that she has the power to manipulate those around her with ease. Despite this, the singer still sees her as a woman, and is drawn to her despite her flaws.


The second verse of the song explores the idea that this woman can be both loving and cold. She can lead you to love one moment, and then take it away the next, and she will only accept what is freely given. She steals and deceives, but the singer still sees her as a woman. The chorus of the song reinforces this idea, with the singer singing that she is always a woman to him, despite her flaws.


The final verse of the song is perhaps the most poignant. It captures the idea that this woman is both kind and cruel, and that she is nobody's fool. She has earned her degree, and can't be easily convicted. She is elusive and enigmatic, but the singer is still drawn to her despite her flaws. In the end, she will only throw shadows at him, but she will always be a woman to him.


Overall, the song "She's Always a Woman" is a complex and nuanced exploration of love and human relationships. It challenges traditional notions of femininity and masculinity, and presents a vision of love that is both flawed and beautiful.

Lyrics
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
Hmmmm hmmmmm
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
Hmmmm hmmmmm

When I hear this song...I think of a man who's in love with his lifelong best friend...because he knows her so well, he knows all her flaws and how imperfect she is...but to him she's perfect. I don't know why...that's just what I hear

@ralfiii

...and you are right. That's my wife and my wedding song, and it's exactly as you describe. Lifelong best friend, I know her flaws, and she's the love of my life.
