They Call It Women
As a young boy
Watched Sally on her swing
Didn't know what I was looking at
But I knew I like that thing
They call it women
Women is what it's called
If you don't have a woman
You've got nothing at all Chorus
First came a redhead
Then along came a blond
Thought I had it cookin'
They showed me I was wrong
Chorus
I just kept on bangin'
My head against the door
Bought them liquor and flowers
But they wanted more
Chorus
Married a pretty woman
Prettiest woman ever born
Not two years later
Found out she's Satan's spawn
Chorus
We just kept on talkin'
Talkin' quite a bit
She spent a mountain of money
All that talk a pile of shit!
Chorus
Now I lay here lonely
There's sun but no light
Tossing in my empty bed
No one to kiss at night
They call it woman
Woman is what it's called
If you don't have a woman
Brother, you've got nothing at all.

thanks for the comment. the "it" as in "woman" is not referring to a single person or event. i was thinking of "woman" as if it were a a swirling collection of things, places, events, etc. While you're in the middle of it you can't see what you're looking at but when you step back from it you can't see it any better because it is an entity all it's own. None the less you can't take your eyes off of it.
