She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--
Bridge
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
-Mhmm--
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do

-Mhmm--
Well obviously I can’t get over the song that I included in my post for the 101st International Women's Day (IWD) celebration. It became my LSS (Last Song Syndrome) for the whole week culminating today by making it as my Sunday post complementing it with the photographs of the faces of this woman that I see every time I look in the mirror. LOL.
I just hope that you wouldn’t take the meaning of the song literally or based it on the story behind why and for whom the musician Billy Joel wrote it for. I like the song primarily because of it’s melody and I love the singer as well. It definitely has a great lyrics that I consider as metaphorical. And whether we admit it or not, most us women can find a bit of ourselves from this song. C’mon sisters, don’t deny it.
The other reason is that, my hubby sang it to me one time. It was one among those ordinary days that we’re together. It was played in the radio and he sang along and dedicated the song to me. Sweet! My hubby by the way possess a good singing voice. You can throw any kind of song to him and he can sing it in perfect tune.
Well I’m talking a lot about myself now and bear with me if I'll be a bit KSP (kulang sa pansin/looking for attention) this week, anyway I seldom do this on my blogs. Since I started blogging I have been avoiding not to reveal a lot about my person, but I think it is inevitable not to share a portion of yourself if you are running a personal blog. I just thought that this week is the perfect time to share a bit about myself because… Yey! it’s my birthday week.
So reading this post is like a tag. You are obliged to greet me in writing by leaving a message below in my comment box (not in the guest book please). If you do not follow my wish, you will suffer from all those consequences threat written in the scary chain letters LOL. C’mon be kind to this celebrant, leave me a message and greet me on my birthday. It doesn’t matter what day you came across this post. Any day that you read this is my birthday so greet me and don’t forget to wish me luck ok?
Thanks and cheers to my birthday! And oh… “Beware, it’s the ides' of March! ;)
