Women III

It took a lot of reasoning
Before she got to pleasing
She made a combination
Of despair and inspirationA mother and a mistress
A sister to her sisters
A child who hoped her dreams come true
But now she's only stuck with youAt least she has a home to share
A man who comes to do her hair
A garden with a patio
A place to have a barbecueThe envy of her neighbors
Who smile and wave and ask her
If they could live for just a day
In luxury and ecstasyBut it's a long way home
From where she's come
It's a long way back
Too much to askThe trash is in the garbage can
The mystery of wonderland
One day she thinks of leaving him
The next she treats him like a kingShe hears it on the radio
She sees it on the video
She waits until the kids have grown
And then she thinks she'll start againBut it's a long way home
From where she's come
And it's a long way back
Too much to askBefore she gave her friends a ring
She promised almost everything
They ran away to paradise
But everything will have its priceFrom woman number one
To woman number two
Now she's woman number three
And she thinks that she is luckyBut it's a long way home
From where she's come
And it's a long way back
Too much to askFrom X Y Z to women 3
From X Y Z to women 3
From X Y Z to women 3
