Songtexte Sossity; You’re A Woman (including Reasons For Waiting) - Live at Carnegie Hall, November 4, 1970; 2025 Remix - Jethro Tull

Hello, you straight-laced lady
Dressed in white, but your shoes aren't clean
Painted them up with polish
In the hope we can't see where you've been, yeah
The smiling face that you've worn
To greet me rising at morning
Sent me out to work for my score
Please me and say what it's for

Give me the straight-laced promise
And not the pathetic lie
Tie me down with your ribbons
And sulk when I ask you why
Your Sunday paper voice cries
Demanding truths I deny
The bitter-sweet kiss we pretended
Is offered, our affair mended

Sossity, you're a woman
Society, you're a woman, yes, you are

What a reason for waiting and dreaming of dreams
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes
That are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
While the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving

Sossity, you're a woman, yes, you are
Society, you're a woman

Thank you!
