Woman of the World

You’re a woman of the world
You seem to know more than you say
Every time I look into your eyes
You give the game away
You’re a woman of the world
You’ve seen the sun and seen the rain
Hit the pinnacles of joy and felt
The lowest ebb of pain
Don’t you know, don’t you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven’t got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it’s true
You’re a woman of the world
Both very strong and very frail
A giant redwood or a tumbleweed
In a winter’s gail
You’re a woman of the world
You’ve seen the sun and seen the rain
Hit the pinnacles of joy and felt
The lowest ebb of pain
Don’t you know, don’t you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven’t got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it’s true
You’re a woman of the world
So let’s be honest from the start
I can’t leave you to the world because
I want you in my heart
Don’t you know, don’t you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven’t got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it’s true
Don’t you know, don’t you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven’t got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it’s true
