"Woman"

"Woman"

A song written by John Lennon

"Woman," which was written for John Lennon's album "Double Fantasy" is truly the antithesis of his previous song "Getting Better." In this song, Lennon sings about his second wife, Yoko Ono Lennon, and all the wonderful things she has done for him. This greatly contrasts with the way in which he interacted with his first wife, Cynthia, whom he treated nothing short of horribly. This song goes to show that a person can say one thing, and do another, and talking the talk does not necessarily mean walking the walk. If Lennon truly respected women, maybe he would not have hit Cynthia in the face just for dancing with one of his bandmates.

Woman
I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I´m forever in your debt
And woman
I will try to express
My inner feeling and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Woman
I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman
Hold me close to your heart
However distant, don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well, woman
Please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
