She's Always A Woman
Regine Velasquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She can kill with a smile
She can wound in 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've 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 just 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

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 then suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She earned her degree
And the most she will do




Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

🥰mmm...... sarap pakinggan nito habang nagrerelax, pag may problema, pag may namimis sa buhay, pag gusto mong magpahinga galing sa work at bago matulog. Talagang kinanta lang nya ito ng pabulong na kung totoosin mahirap para sa kanya mag adjust dahil alam naman nating lahat na sobrang bakulaw ng boses nya sa pero grabe yung control ng boses nya kayang-kaya nyang ipitin na sa tingin mo hanggang dun nalang range ng boses nya, kayang-kaya nya ring pabatain, patandain at ibuga ng todo na parang dragon na mangangain ng tao.😱 Ang galing-galing nya sobra. Di mo sukat akalain na yung ganito kasweet, kasoft at kaliit ng boses ay may ilalakas pa pala hundred times w/ automatic amplifier pa na dumadagundong lalo na pag pinanood mo sya ng live at yung stunning resonance nya habang bumubuga ng husto.😱 Kakaiba talaga si Regine sa lahat. Sobrang husay.❤️ The best!!!!
