If God Was A Woman
Richie Sambora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If God was a woman
With long blond hair
Would you kneel at her altar
And offer her prayer
Could she be your addiction
Could she make you sin
If God was a woman
And you were her man
If God was a woman
Would you be impressed
If she showed up in high heels
And a pretty red dress
Would you make a donation
Or would you draw the line
Would you yield to temptation
Or savor her wine

If God was a woman
She'd come like an angel
Or a devil in disguise
When she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Of kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman

If God was a woman
Tell me who could we blame
Would she make Jesus righteous
Or completely insame
Of God was a woman
Would she kiss and tell
Would we wind up in heaven
Or would we all burn in hell

If God was a woman
She'd come like an angel
Or the devil in disguise, oh yeah
And if she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
And you were her man, yeah

If God was a woman
Would she come like an angel
Or the devil in disguise, oh yeah
When she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Would you kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye

If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
We'd all burn in hell

If God was
Woman, woman, woman, woman
If God was a woman
Tell me who would we blame
If God was a woman




If God was a woman
She'd drive us insane, yeah

Overall Meaning

Richie Sambora's song "If God Was A Woman" puts forward a provocative idea of what would happen if God was female. The lyrics paint a picture of an alternate world where God is a woman with long blonde hair who wears high heels and pretty red dresses. Sambora's lyrics are suggestive and suggest that if God was a woman, she could become a temptation for men, and some may sin for her. The song questions whether a female God would satisfy the needs of men, or create chaos and confusion.


The song raises questions about gender roles and how they affect our views on God. The notion of God being a woman proposes a new view of God that is feminine and nurturing. However, it also raises the question of how this new perspective would be received in society. The song suggests that some men would find it hard to reconcile their feelings for a female God.
