Woman
Gugun Power Trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shine blonde hair, blue eyes, staring at me
Burn my fire, oh baby . . . baby . . . it's all I need
You carry me over, top of the hill

Down on your knees, make me blind to see
You know just how to make my breath away
You're amazing

You change my life until tomorrow come
I ain't complainin'
Six strings down, hands up shake your body
You blow my mind

You carry me over, top of the hill
Don't stop baby. Never turning back
You know just how to make my breath away
You're amazing

You change my life until tomorrow come
I ain't complainin'

Woman . . . woman . . . Don't cast your spell on me
Lay down . . . lay down never get enough. for me . . .
Woman . . . woman . . . Don't cast your spell on me . . .

Lay down . . . lay down never get enough. for me . . .
Can you hear me baby . . . yeah . . . yeah . . .
