When a Woman Is Around

I don't pretend to know the ways of the world

A means to an end seems the way

Who has the most of whatever is best

All the better

May the best man win

An eye for an eye

Is a blind man's rule

I wasn't born to follow

I'm nobody's fool

Any other man

Can swoon and soar (Is that true?)

Truth is seldom found (By a man)

When a woman is around (When a woman is around)

Your folly, your joy

No one can know

What makes you sigh, what makes you cry

Lose that Cheshire grin

Take it like a man

Keep what's yours

Leave me mine

At the moment, you could say I'm presently optimistic

Fuck the travails that bedevil

Put simply, for now

I acquiesce

Even now as it was then

So it will always be

The bridge has only widened

Lest your disguise is worthy

I was never born to lose

I belong to no party

Suspicion clouds (A man's heart)

When a woman is around (When a woman is around)

Your folly, your joy

No one can know

What makes you sigh, what makes you cry

Lose that Cheshire grin

Take it like a man

Keep what's yours

Leave me mine

Lose that Cheshire grin

Take it like a man

Keep what's yours

Leave me mine

When a woman is around

When a woman is around

When a woman is around
