She's Always a Woman

Hi Sounis!

I know I just posted something a farther down the page, but I wanted to share this song because it really reminds me of a QoA Irene. 

Here are the lyrics, my thoughts are in red:

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,(Isn't that so Irene?) 
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you (Wasn't this Gen's dilemma?  How to tell her he loved and have her beleive him... And isn't that what Relius taught her to do?)

And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free(Didn't the Mede Emperor find that out the hard way!)
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Bridge

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--



Any other thought or observations?  And how different from a KoA Irene.  I think one of the things I love the most about KoA is seeing the changes in Irene as she learned to trust and let her guard down a bit.

Thanks for reading,
