John Lennons song Woman is an ode to his wife Yoko Ono. It was written as an expression of regret for past mistakes and a statement of love. It is noteworthy for being one of the last songs Lennon recorded before his assassination in December 1980.
Woman, I can hardly express My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman, I will try to express My inner feelings and thankfulness For showing me the meaning of succe-e-e-ess
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well ... Doo doo doo doo-doo Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well ... Doo doo doo doo-doo
Woman, I know you understand The little child inside the man Please remember, my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart However distant, don't keep us apart After all, it is written in the sta-a-a-ars
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well ... Doo doo doo doo-doo Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, well, well ... Doo doo doo doo-doo
Woman, please let me explain I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain So let me tell you again and again and agai-ai-ai-ain
I love you! Yeah, yeah... now and forever I love you! Yeah, yeah... now and forever I love you! Yeah, yeah... now and forever I love you! Yeah, yeah... now and forever (repeat and fade)
