A Woman In Love - Joan Armatrading

No matter what you do or say She's always got to have her way She'll bring you down just to cheer you up You never know with a woman in love. The minute you start holding on You'll turn around and she'll be gone This is very unpredictable stuff You never know with a woman in love. Chorus: She's a lady, she's a child She'll make you crazy, she'll drive you wild Do you give in or do you just give up You never know with a woman in love. You never know with a woman in love. I oughta know 'cause I've held a few I've seen the things that a woman can do She'll play the game 'til you call her bluff Oh, You never know with a woman in love. Just when you think you've got it all together If you blink she'll change just like the weather, oh, oh, oh. No matter what you do or say She's always got to have her way This is very unpredictable stuff You never know with a woman in love. Chorus: She's a lady, she's a child She'll make you crazy, she'll drive you wild Do you give in or do you just give up You never know with a woman in love. You never know with a woman in love. You never know with a woman in love, You never know with a woman, oh, oh, woman in love...

Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone It's a lonelier place I kiss the morning goodbye But down inside you know We never know why The road is narrow and long When eyes meet eyes And the feeling is strong I turn away from the wall I stumble and fall But I give you it all I am a woman in love And I'd do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do? With you eternally mine In love there is No measure of time We planned it all at the start That you and I Would live in each other's hearts We may be oceans away You feel my love I hear what you say No truth is ever a lie I stumble and fall But I give you it all I am a woman in love And I'm talking to you Do you know how it feels? What a woman can do It's a right That I defend over and over again

Came into my life Made me think that I Was really something Took me by surprise Someone with your charm Looking my way Am I in heaven Am I in heaven Am I in heaven Have I gone up Have I gone up To the big cloud Number nine Hey you Brought me out of my shell I don't know why you care But you do it well Started a dream Dreaming made me see Oh babe You're so right for me And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down And I wanna be the apple of your eye And I wanna be the one you run to Cause I found the perfect someone Who can take me in their arms and love me I found the perfect someone Who could take me in their arms and love me Started a dream Dreaming made me see Oh babe You're so right for me And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down And I wanna be the apple of your eye And I wanna be the one you run to Day and night Came into my life Made me think that I Was really something Took me by surprise Someone with your charm Looking my way Am I in heaven Am I in heaven Am I in heaven Have I gone up Have I gone up Have I gone up To the big cloud Number nine And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down And I wanna be the apple of your eye And I wanna be the one you run to Day and night I wanna be the sunshine when you're down And I wanna be the apple of your eye And I wanna be the one you run to Day and night

You've lived your life And how you survived I'll never know People talk of hardships What do they know What do they know Of the strength you had to show To stop yourself from crying out To keep you head above the sand Those times when you were in dispair When trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight don't call again Now there were times When it seemed I didn't care Don't misjdge my silence You had my sympathy I had sympathy And I admired how you Stopped yourself from crying Kept your head above the sand When trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight Don't call again And now the future's looking bright You fought alone and won the fight Kept your faith When times were hard you made it through Trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You stopped yourself from crying out You kept your head above the sand Those times when you were in despair Trouble seemed your only friend Somehow you kept your spirits high You told him straight Don't call again

He has little red feet His stockin's in his shoes Lipstick and rouge on his face He has his hair piled high Has a red umbrella And carries his head in the sky And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He has a little baby brother A big fat mama His sister asks for dimes on the street He doesn't feel it's a cover In fact he knows For sure he can please I said he's out there right now Running with the devil Struttin' down the alley ways With the nervous young hopeful At his heel And know his satisfaction won't drive him away And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He's not looking for a friend He's not looking for a lover There in the crowded bar He has rings on his fingers He's there to tease You know he only wants to take things too far And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun"
