Charles Aznavour - Women of Today lyrics
[Charles Aznavour - Women of Today lyrics]
Anywhere I stare
Girls are always there in plenty
Nearly fully bloomed
Curly and perfumed and scenty
And I get as high as I did when I was twenty
You carry me away, women of today
In their denim jeans
To the tv screen they glue me
Thoughts of ev'ry kind
In my dreamy mind pursue me
Can't they realise how their
Pretty eyes undo me
You're more than I can say, women of today
I'm completely attracted, it's true
But what does it take to make it with you
Back in sixty-two
All we had to do was flatter
With a little wine and a
Little line of chatter but to modern birds
All the charming words don't matter
Oh, teach me what to say, women of today
Since the world began
Woman was for man created
She may treat him rough
He may feel he's suffocated
Still he takes the knocks
Like a fool intoxicated
You hold us in your sway, women of today
Walking down the street, good enough to eat
She thrills me
In a passing crowd, arrogant and proud
She chills me
Lying on the beach, just beyond my reach
It kills me
Near, yet so far away, women of today
You take your independence with ease
But I'm on my knees, oh, liberate me, please
Out of Adam's rib you
Have won your liberation
But you can't destroy that old
Girl meets boy vibration
Any guys's a nut who
Denies that gut sensation
You take my breath away, women of today
Girls are always there in plenty
Nearly fully bloomed
Curly and perfumed and scenty
And I get as high as I did when I was twenty
You carry me away, women of today
In their denim jeans
To the tv screen they glue me
Thoughts of ev'ry kind
In my dreamy mind pursue me
Can't they realise how their
Pretty eyes undo me
You're more than I can say, women of today
I'm completely attracted, it's true
But what does it take to make it with you
Back in sixty-two
All we had to do was flatter
With a little wine and a
Little line of chatter but to modern birds
All the charming words don't matter
Oh, teach me what to say, women of today
Since the world began
Woman was for man created
She may treat him rough
He may feel he's suffocated
Still he takes the knocks
Like a fool intoxicated
You hold us in your sway, women of today
Walking down the street, good enough to eat
She thrills me
In a passing crowd, arrogant and proud
She chills me
Lying on the beach, just beyond my reach
It kills me
Near, yet so far away, women of today
You take your independence with ease
But I'm on my knees, oh, liberate me, please
Out of Adam's rib you
Have won your liberation
But you can't destroy that old
Girl meets boy vibration
Any guys's a nut who
Denies that gut sensation
You take my breath away, women of today
