Women behind bars
Women in fast cars
Women in distress
Women with no dress
Women in aeroplanes
Women who play games
Women in uniform
See that woman with her clothes torn

Women who satisfy
Women you can’t buy
Like women in magazines
And women in a limousine
Women who sip champagne
Women who feel no pain
Women in a disco
And women who don’t wanna know, know, know

Oh women wanting sympathy
Women feeling ecstasy
Women who live in fantasies
Bringing man to his knees

Women who fall in love
Women who need a shove
Women who can’t be beat
Get that woman in the back seat, yeah, yeah
Women in the U.S.A.
Those women steal your heart away
Women into rock ‘n’ roll
Women who steal the show, go, go, go

Women that you write songs about
Women that turn around and kick you out
Women you dream about all your life
Women that stab you in the back with a switchblade knife

Oh women, ooh, ooh
Talk about women
Around the world
Yeah women
Oh no, it goes
Talkin’ ’bout women
C’mon baby

About Lyrics and Women by Foreigner

The lyrics to Women are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Foreigner used when the song was created in 1979. The lyrics to Women have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Foreigner and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Women by Foreigner. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Women" means the words set to the music of Women, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Foreigner. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Women and the lyrics to Women are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Foreigner who came here looking just for the lyrics to Women, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
