Shes A Woman
The Beatles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that she's no peasant
Only ever has to give me
Love forever and forever
My love don't give me presents
Turn me on when I get lonely
People tell me that she's only fooling
She don't give boys the eye
She hates to see me cry
She is happy just to hear me
Say that I will never leave her
She don't give boys the eye
She will never make me jealous
Gives me all her time as well as loving
Don't ask me why
She's a woman who understands
She's a woman who loves her man
My love don't give me presents
I know that she's no peasant
Only ever has to give me
Love forever and forever
My love don't give me presents
Turn me on when I get lonely
People tell me that she's only fooling
I know she isn't, woo ooh
She's a woman who understands
She's a woman who loves her man
Her love don't give me presents
I know that she's no peasant
Only ever has to give me
Love forever and forever
My love don't give me presents
Turn me on when I get lonely
People tell me that she's only fooling
I know she isn't
She's a woman, she's a woman
She's a woman, she's a woman, she's a woman
The song "She" by The Beatles is a love song written by Paul McCartney. The lyrics depict the qualities that the singer loves about his significant other. The first verse talks about how his lover doesn't give him presents but only gives him love that will last forever. The second verse talks about how she supports him emotionally when he feels lonely and doesn't try to make him jealous. The chorus repeats the message of how he doesn't need any material possessions from her, only her love.
The most interesting aspect of this song lies in its placement within The Beatles' discography. "She" was included on the album "Anthology 3," which was released in 1996. However, the song was actually recorded in 1965 during the sessions for their album "Rubber Soul," but was not included on the final tracklist. The song was forgotten until the "Anthology" series, which unearthed unreleased and alternate tracks from The Beatles' archives.
The inspiration for the song remains a mystery, as McCartney has never revealed who the song was written for. Some speculate that it was written for his then-girlfriend Jane Asher or for actress Marianne Faithfull.
