Billy Joel - She's Always A Woman Lyrics

2020? :')

Billy Joel is a genius in his own wright!

My back then boyfriend, now husband told me long time ago it's a song about me I now see why :) Good memories about this song.

this is the distribution of a woman

So she dares to take care of herself, while dealing with a guy. And this is an old song, so the age of where men paid for all the things. So maybe she wont take his shit one day, and then it's all oh my gods she's a bitch.

Lyrics

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
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
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
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
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

0:45 well it should be free , so STFU mate .

Public comment .. This song carries me striving on

Any one watching in 2020?

I taught this song was sung by elton John

CAT stevens

I’m 20 years old and single but I wish I could play this song when I find my girlfriend. This song is so emotional. 😭 I hope I find her one day. Peace and Love, Matty.

I miss my grandmother, she would always request this song. ❤

She classifies as a man but she's always a woman too me

So basically this dude puts up with an obnoxious person because he wants to get laid, nice tune tho. A real classic

A beautiful neat piece of art...he nailed it

Classic!!! ❤️

A perfectly written, American song.

I've seen this song in adverts,and you get the meaning,through the media,but it really is just a great song with so,soooooo much meaning.❤thanx bill,you got iron point mate.

LGBT : let us introduce ourself

My love for Billy Joel goes back as far as I can remember.....this is my so g for my mom. She was a beautiful, strange woman full of contradictions as well. Luckily, she blessed myself and my sister with her beauty and neurosis before she left this world. What I would to pick up the phone to hear "Hello dear it's your Mother" .....she was to me the definition of Always a Woman.

Thank you Craig Ward (The voice uk). now i know this wonderfull song.

Why still now I can hear this song?
I Cried when she said she asked for nothing!

Billy Joel never fails to make good music.

When lyrics truly matter.

I've just realised as an older man I am really good at singing this on the karaoke.

Why do the tears come every time I hear this song? 😢💗 (I think it reminds me of my childhood- my Mom and Dad used to wear out his records!💗)

dit lijkt voor mij te zijn geschreven moon

I swear the flute is actually being played on a Mellotron...

my endless listening into my heart this beautiful lyrics and my children told me that this song really describes me, till then novembe 30 2019

Bipolar 😄

I’ve been missing you

wow what a song, wow what a songwriter. thank you Billy Joel

"Ohhhhhhh shes never give up andshes never give in" on of the greatest melody of any songs 🕺🕺🕺

Basically he's in love with this woman who is a complete POS and he can't see it? Do I smell Stockholm Syndrome?

she steals like a thief but she always a woman to me he is so cool this is unconditional love for real way to show everyone billy in a song "MO"

This is one of the most soothing songs.❤

This song brings me to a terrible time where I felt I mentally cut and laughed at while I was bleeding and that I couldn’t be in the right because she had earned her degree

Is it legal to skip this song

I remember 9/11 with this song. RIP to those who lost their lives.

The last song (recorded playing) in the concourse of the 2 towers!

As I have said before; the closest a mortal man will ever come to understanding the eternal beautiful mystery of a woman !

Suits my mum whom has just passed away, thank you Billy. Xx

Am I the only one from the 21st century wishing music stayed pure and beautiful like this? 😭
Also, I just listened to this twice in a row.

This song was playing in the courtyard when the first plane hit the WTC not to be morbid but I will always love the people that perished that day ...as well as this song

I binged The Crown and this song makes me think of Princess Margaret for some reason.

Always saw my mother.. She taught me this song. She passed in 2005.
Now my daughter sees same in me. Diagnosed April 1st.

I hear people say this is a love song. I don’t hear that at all. What I hear in this song is a woman that is chilly, manipulative, selfish and self serving. The only time she’s not that way is when it’s convenient for her.

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you. Grow up Frankie.

You're absolutely right, about the character of the woman. However, despite all her faults/flaws, he loves her and accepts her as she is. So, as a matter of fact, this IS a love song. Take care!

but I don't see it that way... this is basically me but don't get me wrong, I don't manipulate lmao that is so wronh in so many ways, I think it's just about a girl with a headstrong sarcastic personality lmao. her changing from nice to mean is probably about how she can kill when provoked.

“She’ll take what you give her as long as it’s free”. Never been truer words spoken

All these comments are stupid,this song has got to do with a female narcisist,a women that plays a man and always gets wat she wants,never says sorry,believes she can control men.

Better than ‘Your Song’...

This is a song that most might consider to be an ode to women based on the sweet melody, but, ironically, if you actually examine the lyrics, billy Joel is clearly speaking ill of women as a gender. Clearly, he had bad experiences with women, as have numerous men, myself included. This song most definitely expresses his disdain for, rather than admiration for women. I have to say, billy is spot on in his assessment of women in this song, which is why i love it; He pretty much points out every character flaw that women( yes, ALL women) possess. Like it or not, ladies, but you KNOW this is precisely how you are beneath the shiny veneer.
The underbelly of a woman is actually rather ugly when you examine it under a microscope. This song does just that!!
Kudos to Billy Joel for writing this masterpiece!!!! He was truly one of the most underrated artists to ever live.

No song better epitomizes women than this amazing song!! Timeless!

perfection

Music at its finest

Yes so much meaning....❤️❤️

For almost two years now I have a girl friend and a soul mate and she makes me very happy in how she just respond to me in the way Billy Joel is singing !

Written as if he knew my late wife. Beautiful song

This is probably the best song to describe a woman through a man's eyes.
All that lust and tits and arse and stuff are for immature blokes, but men, they see this song

Women see thing song for what it is too.

RIP Twin Towers you will be missed forever 😥.

f you billy women avoiding men these days to lack of financial responibility

Allentown eventually lead me to the stranger

This is a beautiful song. Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊

Love Billy! 😊💕👍

Yep October 17th 2019 Im 55 years old and Im quite impressed i made it to this age, lol..........

I ain't near that age and wisdom but, live life with happy thoughts.

Corium Delany I’m sure your much younger but it’s not about age it’s about life experiences right. I thought I had lived at 24 yrs old, I left home at 16. Travelled to a new Country at 19 . Told myself I had no regrets but boy was I wrong. If I had known how much harder my future was going to be I would have swallowed those words, lol. But you never stop learning. Yes I can now say I lived but regrets, I have many. I’m sure there are many more Challenges ahead too. Good Luck with your future. Live your best life. 😀😃😄

This song is so powerfull

a honey trap, she was breed to be so since birth, betrayed into the hands of satan by her own parents and told it was good for her. mkultra perhaps. who know? the one thing that is certain is that she needs love.

anyone watching in 2019 ?

Georg Methner oooo sorry

@Ruby Ingram yes you should be sorry

@Georg MethnerMe.

It sound's from the 90's or 00's I don't know why

My mother (yes she's still with us) used to listen to this song when I was a little girl. And I'll be damned. This song describes the very essence of her. This will always be HER song. "She takes care of herself. She can wait if she wants. She's ahead of her time." She's ALWAYS a woman to me. 💖

P.S.-MY song is "Vienna" ☺️

She's always a woman to me.








*Unless it's a trap.*

If it looks like a woman it's good enough for me

♥️👌

I walked down the aisle to this song. My husband is gone now, but I'll find comfort in this song. I'll love you forever Kenny.

Sorry for your loss. I can imagine your wedding must have been beautiful with this song 💕

She is always a woman to me

This is a red pill song

Sorry but this songs reminds me of 911, this is the song that was in the background when people were falling in the main plaza. Beautiful words but horrible images this song brings 😔

I have no idea what Orville is, but I'm here from the World Trade Centre plaza music

I love you Billy Joel... for your beautiful music!

"And the most she will do is throw shadows at you" does anyone know the meaning of that lyric?

I think it just means she only reveals a small part of herself to others and they will never understand her but he sees all of who she is and loves and understands her, flaws and all.

God fucking damnit again? So many of my favorite songs turn out to be written by him. I swear what’s next, Despacito? Old town road? DAME TU COSITA!?

So beautiful ❤️

Dear old dad, the dog.

Beautiful song.. :)

CARLY RIP ❤❤

Its still a beautiful song

I heard this at my orthodontist

Grew up with this and still love it

Don't know everytime I listen to this song, it always gives me sad feelings... brings me to tears.
Reminds me of the things I came through in life so far...

It was played on wtc plaza when the twin towers were burning

Did he just say she'll laugh while you're bleeding.

Just like Ava Max's song sweet but psycho

Wonderful song but oh man does it remind me of my ex.............and not in a good way.

I loved this song when i was 7 um thats weird lol

Relax song

Beautiful beautiful song. Never fails to make me cry a river. 😢😭
