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 |

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 |
