Because you are a woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I only wanted to be closer to you
I thought I had something to prove
Instead I fled with my superstition
Because you are a woman
Now I was told since before I could speak
A man's emotions are what make him weak
I come to you more or less a humble man
Because you are a woman
And I find most of the time
I'm lost inside my own mind
Look all over, all over to find
It don't keep me satisfied
All the conquests that I construe
Fail miserably in front of you
Have you ever been loved by such a charismatic fool
And I'm a sucker for your love
The self-centred strut and crowd the sidewalk
Parade in pose with phones and paper cups
You walk like truth through a world of fiction
Because you are a woman
And I find most of the time
It's all inside my mind
Look all over, all over to find
It don't keep me satisfied
And I find most of the time
I miss the way your body coils around mine
Slope of your shoulders, the curve of your spine
Because you are a woman
I change my strings and pack my suitcase
I'm always leaving for some other place
But I'll return to you again and again
Because you are a woman
Because you are a woman
