As Billy Joel himself might attest, the love of a good woman is a wonderful thing to have. However, it is possible to want it too much. The tragic situation described below should serve as a warning to us all.

I wasn't as strict about mirroring the original lyrics as I usually am. Of course, this parody carries the same stamp of quality that all the content on my site does. It's just.... different.

     

Always A Woman?

 

Always A Woman

     
I fed her bread at the park where I met her
And the spark in her eye made it hard to forget her
If I ruffle her feathers, she'll cry fowl at me
Though she honks like a goose,
still she sounds like a woman to me

She takes me to places I've long dreamed of seeing
And she fills every silence with laughter and singing
Every morning I wake she's the first thing I see
She's an HDTV, but she's more like a woman to me

I can't take care of myself
But I know what I want
And I'm ready this time
Oh, but I never get out
I end up staying in
And I'm losing my mind

Well, she's blue-eyed and blonde like a native of Sweden
And the dress that she wears hangs a little uneven
But I made it myself, very painstakingly
She's a doll on my shelf, but she's always a woman to me

I'm getting scared for myself
I'm almost thirty-one
Wish I had some more time
Mom thinks I'll never move out
And the basement I'm in
I can't really call mine

She purrs soft and low when she wakes in the morning
If I leave the lights on, well, she gives me a warning
Though others have left, she's remained faithfully
She's a Honda Accord, but I'll never be bored
Cause she's just like a woman to me

Accept no substitutes.

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 leave you to love, she can take you all evening
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's 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
