Man, What a Woman - The Waterboys

She opens her heart with a slow reveal

Man, what a woman

Shows a treasure that’s lain long concealed

Man, what a woman

Then drives away in a low-slung automobile

Man, what a woman

She won’t suffer pomposity

Or tolerate hypocrites

She’s got a bullshit detector, first class

And she keeps it lit

She’s got cool taste in music, likes it rustic and weird

Man, what a woman

Her favourite singers all have sideburns or beards

Man, what a woman

She loves the end of Pale Rider when Clint Eastwood sneers

Man, what a woman

She’s got a quicksilver wisdom

And a head full of spells

Two or three children around her feet

And she raises 'em well

It’s a lucky man who’s ever loved, held or kissed her

Man, what a woman

You ask me am I one, but I ain’t tellin' mister

Man, what a woman

If she was ever in any kind of trouble I’d be honoured to assist her

Man, what a woman

She’s the queen of the greenwood, she’s Pan’s little sister

Man, what a woman

She’s married already

To someone righteous and kind

She’ll always be beautiful

But she’ll never be mine

What a woman!

What a woman, man
