"When A Woman Is Around" lyrics

"When A Woman Is Around"

I don't pretend to know the ways of the world
A means to an end seems the way
Whoever has the most of whatever is best
All the better
May the best man win

An eye for an eye
Is a blind man's rule
I wasn't born to follow
I'm nobody's fool

Any other man
Can swoon and soar (is that true?)
Truth is seldom found
By a man
When a woman is around
When a woman is around

Your folly, your joy
No one can know
What makes you sigh
What makes you cry...

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like a man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine

At the moment you could say
I'm presently optimistic
Fuck the travails that bedevil
Put simply
For now
I acquiesce

Even now as it was then
So it will always be
The bridge has only widened
Lest your disguise is worthy

I was never born to lose
I belong to no party
Suspicion clouds, a man's heart
When a woman is around
When a woman is around

Your folly, your joy
No one can know
What makes you sigh
What makes you cry...

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like a man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like the man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine

When a woman is around
When a woman is around
When a woman is around
When a woman is around
