[Verse 1]
You're a woman of the world
You seem to know more than you say
Every time I look into your eyes
You give the game away

[Verse 2]
You're a woman of the world
You've seen the sun and seen the rain
Hit the pinnacles of joy and felt
The lowest ebb of pain

[Chorus]
Don't you know, don't you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven't got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it's true

[Verse 3]
You're a woman of the world
Both very strong and very frail
A giant redwood or a tumbleweed
In a winter's gail

[Verse 4]
You're a woman of the world
You've seen the sun and seen the rain
Hit the pinnacles of joy and felt
The lowest ebb of pain
[Chorus]
Don't you know, don't you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven't got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it's true

[Verse 5]
You're a woman of the world
So let's be honest from the start
I can't leave you to the world because
I want you in my heart

[Chorus]
Don't you know, don't you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven't got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it's true

[Chorus]
Don't you know, don't you know
That I understand, yes, I understand, you know I do
And though you haven't got to wait while I catch up with you
God only knows it's true
