Woman
Stephanie J. Block Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally
'Cause I'm every woman (Every woman)
It's all in me
It's all in me
Yeah

I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally

I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every woman, whoever made ya say...
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa (oh) whoa (oh) whoa

I can cast a spell
See, but you can't tell
Mix a special groove
Put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear
Then instantly
I will appear
Yeah oh

I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

I can set your knees
like playing unto the seas
I can make a rhyme of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down to some little flash of love
I got it, I got it
I got it, got it, baby baby

I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally

I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every woman, whoever made ya say...
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

I ain't braggin'
'Cause I'm the one
Just ask me
Oh, it shall be done
And don't bother
to compare
I've got it

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Ahhhhh

I'm every woman
I'm every woman
I'm every woman
I'm every woman

I'm every woman
I'm every woman
I'm every woman
I'm every woman

I'm every woman (Chaka)
I'm every woman (Chaka)




I'm every woman (Ha ha ha)
I'm every woman (Come on girl)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stephanie J. Block's song "Woman" tell a story of a man who has a kindhearted woman who loves him and would do anything for him, but is also being pursued by other women who are not as kind-hearted. He loves this woman but she does not love him back. He is worried about how she treats him and is heartbroken when he hears her call out another man's name. The woman he loves is described as kind-hearted but also evil, as she studies evil all the time and can be deadly to him.


The lyrics reflect on the complexity and the struggles of a romantic relationship. The singer here is torn between his feelings of love for the woman who does not reciprocate, and the fear and anxiety caused by the other women who are chasing him. The lyrics reveal the pain that this man feels, as he is stuck between his love and his fear of these other women who want him for their own. This can be interpreted as a warning about the dangers of being too trusting and getting involved with the wrong people.

Woman I am born
What does "woman" mean?
Must my dreams face scorn
Held back and unseen

If I long for fire
Must it stay unreal?
Can I not desire?
Am I not to feel?

If I ache to taste
Am I not to try?
If my heary says sail
Why must I deny?
I have my dreams
I have made plans

I see horizons wide as a man's
Must I be nothing till I'm some man's wife?

Look at this face
Does it deceive?
Do I look made to milk and to weave?
I will be damned to Hell if that is my life!
(Interlude)
Tiernan,
I'm almost your age,
I'm your match in size,
I'm your match with swords
An equal in most eyes

But when you have a dream
And you're caught in it's grip
You can climb aboard a ship
You can -
You can for you're a man

You can reach toward that place
Where the earth meets the sky
Fight a battle be brave, be true
If you can do it, why not I?

I'm meant to fly
Sail unrestrained
Why is man free and woman chained?
Is that my epitaph before I die?

I should be free
Free to be Grace
I want to feel the wind on my face!
And when life beckons, I should go
Face out the storm, not stay below
Am I to be just woman? No! Not I! Last Updat
