Lyrics of
Woman

John Lennons song Woman is an ode to his wife Yoko Ono. It was written as an expression of regret for past mistakes and a statement of love. It is noteworthy for being one of the last songs Lennon recorded before his assassination in December 1980.

Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt

And woman, I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of succe-e-e-ess

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well Doo doo doo doo-doo
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well Doo doo doo doo-doo

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember, my life is in your hands

And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant, don't keep us apart
After all, it is written in the sta-a-a-ars

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well Doo doo doo doo-doo
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well Doo doo doo doo-doo

Woman, please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and agai-ai-ai-ain

I love you! Yeah, yeah now and forever
I love you! Yeah, yeah now and forever
I love you! Yeah, yeah now and forever
I love you! Yeah, yeah now and forever
(repeat and fade)
