The Divine Comedy - A Woman Of The World lyrics

When she was just a girl She became a woman of the world Soon there wasn't room enough for her In between the bosoms of her family She popped the cork, got on the greyhound to new york Small-talked her way round just the sort Of playboys' playground she'd once dreamed about Maybe i love her, but i'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world She's a fake! On the make! Just you wait! And a fifty dollar bill will see to that Heh, that ain't enough to feed the cat Serve up the rats and super rats Well they just get fatter while she fades away Maybe i love her, but i'm jealous of her She's a woman of the world Maybe i hate her, 'cause i didn't create her It's human nature, girl Maybe i'll suffer, just to be her lover Just to be part of her world Maybe i need her, because i want to be her baby, can i be your girl? Maybe i'll k** her, just trying to thrill her if she don't k** me first We're making eye-contact Oh those hypnotic eyes attract Such philanthropic flies You cannot stop it, so why the devil do you try?
