Billy Joel. "She Is Always a Woman to Me"

Dear friends! Again, it was my EC friend Anny, who suggested this discussion and I am gladly adding this well-known song. It was written and performed  by Billy Joel in 1977. That time Billy looked like in the picture on the left. It is touching , very true-to-life lyrics and  great music, especially the piano and the leading guitar. I hope, you all will like this song and sing it together with one of the best American singers.

Dear Ann! This song is for you and your husband who likes the piano more than the guitar!

And here is the script:

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
And 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
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
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
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
But 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

Enjoy, my friends!

  • Hi, my friend! Yes, mine is the same way! (BIG SMILE!)  But what would we do without them?! We love them  because they are mysteries for us and we never know what to expect. And it is great! Even the best book reread many times becomes uninteresting and boring, agree? Hahaha!

  • Whoa nice song! I wanna dedicated this song to my lovely wife. :-)

  • Dear Ann! I don't realize what you can't understand. Do you mean some expressions? I can explain their meanings. But if you mean the idea of this song in general, I have to admit, it is so right. Any woman is always a mystery for any man and it should be so! 

    • I mean in the past while hearing this song I couldn't understand. You know, my English is not good. hihi ^^. Reading your post here I understand clearly. (in fact I still have to search some words in dictionary ^^).

    • Anny! It is more usual to say "look up some words in the dictionary", ok?

    • Yes ok :D
  • Thank you Danny for sharing us this lovely song. I heard this song firstly maybe on a movie. I liked the melody then tried to find the song and save it in my phone. I didn't understand the script. But I still like the song.
    The clip is lovely and the lyric is perfect! Women are usually difficult to understand but they are always lovely!
