Текст песни Donna Summer - Woman (with Band Introductions) (Live at Pacific Amphitheatre, Costa Mesa, California, 6th August 1983)

Now ladies, this is a song I wrote for all you women
Who have had troubles
Or who have troubles with their husbands coming home late
Or not at all
Play it boys
Girlfriend can we talk
Well I have something to say
When it comes to dealing with your man
Honey, there just ain't no easy way, no easy way

Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
God he made the woman
God he made the man
Knew just what he wanted in his
Master plan
Want your man to love you with all his heart and soul
Let him be who he is, let him take control

You're a woman and you got the
Right to be one
Let him know it
Let your life begin to show some

Woman treat that man real good
Woman like you know you should
Want him to be faithful
Love and understand
Want him to be kind
Be your lovin' man
Forget about the hard times
Think about the good
That's when he will treat you just
The way he should

You're a woman and you got the right to be one
Let him know it let your life begin to show some
Alright now, ladies are you getting the message?
Now, you see, there's more than one way to skin a cat
There's always better to skin them over with kindness
Than beat them over the head with a baseball bat
You know, when I first got married
My husband and I would fight a lot
Cause I would meet him at the door
With my bag attitude
It would look something like this
I just knew I was right
You know, I used to meet him at the door
With my hangup and rolers
But girls let me tell you this
Don't wear your hand rolers
He wants to remember you the way you were
Not the way you are
He always wants to remember the girl he married
Not the one we've become, ha-ha
Get the message?
Now, when your honey comes home
You have to greet them like this
You see, you can't expect the man to be perfect
Only I'm perfect, oh no I'm just kidding
Well, this is how you should do it
Let's show em girls, it always works
This will keep him home
Hi honey, oh, I'm so glad you're here
Three hours late, oh, sit down, let me rub your shoulders, honey
I know it feels good to you, but it feels so much better to me, oh
And then, I leave the rest up to your own discretion
Every man for himself, every woman too
Alright? Alright? That was a handful honey, let me have a bunch
Alright, yeah. Let me see you put your hands again
Now, I want you to sing it out to me
I wanna be sure you got it from now
Alright, can you sing all to here?
You got good voices?
Alright, I'm gonna start it and you sing it out to me. Alright?
I need you women now, okay?
Guys, this is for the married women and those who wish they were
Woman (woman)
Wait, I said guys don't sing
I don't trust y'all from that side over here
Faithfull bunch, a faithful bunch
Come back here. Alright, now women sing it out to me, okay?
Woman (woman)
Woman (woman)
Woman (woman)
Woman
Alright, let's hear it for you all. That's good
While you get your hands together
I would like to introduce the men behind the women
But first I have to introduce the only woman in the band
And she loves every moment of it, believe me
A little Italian girl from Chicago, okay, thank you
And another guy from Chicago, a guitarist, Nick Brown
And on percussions we have and on vocals
Nathan, come on, let's hear it for Nathan
Alright, alright now we have a pretty
Let's call them a jack of all trades
A keyboard player and choreographer John Trian
John, get off the stage John
Now, I don't mean that as a racial slur or anything
But you've got to be white to do that dance cause I tried
Next we have on set of all the weird instruments Woman Hale
Alright, and now we have a cute, cute, cute little chocolate chip
On bass guitar, oh honey, he just can't wait to get on here
Kip Nas, let's hear it all, alright
On drums we have tall Bond, come on tall
Last but not least we have my conductor, arranger
Personal supervisor and keyboard player and synthesizer player
Jeff Bland, well that about sums it up folks
That's all the band
You're forgetting somebody
Oh, Dara, Dara Bernard my younger sister
Girlfriend, can we talk, how could I forget you
My other younger sister, the diva, Mary Bernard

You're a woman, yes, yes you are
You're a woman, you are
You're a woman, yes, yes you are
You're a woman, yeah
You're a woman, yes, yes you are
You're a woman, you are
You're a woman, yes, yes you are
You're a woman, yeah
You're a woman
Thank you
