When A Woman Is Around

[Verse 1: Jade Vincent]

I don't pretend to know the ways of the world
A means to an end seems a way
Who has the most of whatever's 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 soon end Saul
(Is that true?)
Truth is seldom found
(By a man)
When a woman is around.

[Chorus: Jade Vincent, Tanya Mellotte]
When a woman is around
Go for the old joke
No one can know
What makes you sigh, what makes you cry.

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like the man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine.

[Verse 2: Jade Vincent]
At the moment you could say
I am 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
Guess your disguise is worth it.

I was never born to lose
I belong to no party
Suspicion clouds
(A man's heart)
When a woman is around.

[Chorus: Jade Vincent, Tanya Mellotte]
When a woman is around
Go for the old joke
No one can know
What makes you sigh, what makes you cry.

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like the man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine.

Lose that Cheshire grin
Take it like the man
Keep what's yours
Leave me mine.

When a woman is around
When a woman is around
When a woman is around
When a woman is around
When a woman is around...
