Lyrics

Woman's world, cooking and baby
Little girls with knowing eyes
Woman's world drawn in a circle
Smaller than truth and bigger than life

And my mom would say that any day
Was never long enough to do the things she had to do
While my naked feet on winter wind
Sit through endless afternoons when everything was new

Woman's world, cooking and baby
Little girls with knowing eyes
Woman's world drawn in a circle
Smaller than truth and bigger than life

And my friends, the poor, so tolerated me
As I could do the things that they could do
Suddenly fell silent when I asked which one we lost
For we were growing older and afraid

A woman's world, cooking and baby
Little girls with knowing eyes
Woman's world drawn in a circle
Smaller than truth and bigger than life
And when he kissed me goodnight
He was afraid to touch me
And when he kissed me goodnight
I was afraid he'd touch me

Woman's world, cooking and baby
Little girls with knowing eyes
Woman's world drawn in a circle
Smaller than truth and bigger than life

And my friends all say that I'm lucky
And I guess my friends should know
I'm a woman in a man's world
With a woman's world to go to when she's alone
