A Woman Of The World Lyrics

    When she was just a girl
    She became a woman of the world
    Soon there wasn't room enough for her
    In between the bosoms of her family
    She popped the cork, got on the greyhound to new york
    Small-talked her way round just the sort
    Of playboys' playground she'd once dreamed about

    Maybe i love her, but i'm jealous of her
    She's a woman of the world

    She's a fake!¡ºsure, but she's a real fake
    On the make!¡ºmaking up for lost time
    Just you wait!¡ºhey, give the girl a break
    And a fifty dollar bill will see to that
    Heh, that ain't enough to feed the cat
    Serve up the rats and super rats
    Well they just get fatter while she fades away

    Maybe i love her, but i'm jealous of her
    She's a woman of the world
    Maybe i hate her, 'cause i didn't create her
    It's human nature, girl
    Maybe i'll suffer, just to be her lover
    Just to be part of her world
    Maybe i need her, because i want to be her baby, can i be your girl?
    Maybe i'll kill her, just trying to thrill her if she don't kill me first

    We're making eye-contact
    Oh those hypnotic eyes attract
    Such philanthropic flies¡ºthat's that.
    You cannot stop it, so why the devil do you try?
