Because You Are A Woman - Brett Dennen

I only wanted to be closer to you

I thought I had something to prove

Instead I fled with my superstition

Because you are a woman

Now I was a poet since before I could speak

A man’s emotions are what make him weak

I come to you more or less a humble man

Because you are a woman

And I find most of the time

I’m lost inside my own mind

I look all over, all over to find

It don’t keep me satisfied

All the conquest that I construe

Fail miserably in front of you

Have you ever been loved by such a charismatic fool

And I’m a circle for your love

The self sin and struggle crowd the sidewalk

Parading pose with phones and paper cups

You walk like truth to a world of fiction

Because you are a woman

And I find most of the time

It’s all inside my mind

I look all over, all over to find

It don’t keep me satisfied, yeah

And I find most of the time

I miss the way your body coils round mine

Slope of your shoulders, the curve of your spine

Because you are a woman

I change my strings and pack my suitcase

I’m always leaving for some other place

But I return to you again and again

Because you are a woman

Because you are a woman
