Woman’s World

Lyrics

[Chorus] Woman's world, cooking and baby Little girls with knowing eyes Woman's world drawn in a circle Smaller than truth and bigger than life [Verse 1] And my mom would say that any day Was never long enough to do the things she had to do While my naked feet on winter wind Sit through endless afternoons when everything was new [Chorus] Woman's world, cooking and baby Little girls with knowing eyes Woman's world drawn in a circle Smaller than truth and bigger than life [Verse 2] And my friends, the poor, so tolerated me As I could do the things that they could do Suddenly fell silent when I asked which one we lost For we were growing older and afraid [Chorus] A woman's world, cooking and baby Little girls with knowing eyes Woman's world drawn in a circle Smaller than truth and bigger than life [Bridge] And when he kissed me goodnight He was afraid to touch me And when he kissed me goodnight I was afraid he'd touch me [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Woman's world, cooking and baby Little girls with knowing eyes Woman's world drawn in a circle Smaller than truth and bigger than life [Verse 3] And my friends all say that I'm lucky And I guess my friends should know I'm a woman in a man's world With a woman's world to go to when she's alone
