歌词
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Interlude]
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mm
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But 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
[Outro]
Mmm mm, mmm mm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

多添一点：
今天分享一首Billy Joel的情歌《She’s Always a Woman》。
这首歌是他1977年的专辑《The Stranger》中的一首歌。这首单曲在美国排名第17；1986年在英国排名第53。2010年5月2日，这首歌再次进入英国排行榜，排名第29位。
乍一看，这像是一首简单的情歌，但歌词中有更多信息。Billy说这首歌为他当时的妻子Elizabeth Weber而唱，她当时是他的经纪人。Elizabeth Weber是一名强硬而精明的谈判者，因此被许多商业对手视为“没有女人味”，甚至认为她自私且难以相处。Billy曾为她演奏《Just The Way You Are》(你就是这样)，并说这首歌是为她而写，而她当时首先关心的是，那她是否拥有出版权。也算是个佐证吧。
尽管如此，Billy的职业生涯早期签了一些对他相当不利的合同，Elizabeth在处理这些事情上发挥了重要作用，让他的职业生涯走上正轨，并招募Phil Ramone与 Billy合作。
