Mary Travers Man Song Lyrics

Woman, woman, how long can we go on round and round,
You will try to tie me up and I will try to bring you down,
We have to got to stop this circling, I can't stand to stay on guard,
I won't think of you as softness, don't you think of me as hard (x4).

I have images and man-dreams you won't understand at all, full of mothering and smothering and life inside a fall,
Once I could not live without you and I hate you for it now,
I know a man is not a baby, but I grew from one somehow, Yes I grew from one somehow (x4).

Well I meet you everywhere and read the challenge in your eyes,
I can climb you, I can slit you, you can cut me down to size,
When we start with all the touching do we think about the end,
If I slip into your body does that mean we can't be friends, does that mean we can't be friends (x4)?

If I fight you with my muscle and bone, if I give you my name, man, woman, I know it's a lie, you are your own, we're not the same, you are a woman, woman, woman.

After all the tearing' down, we stand here hurting together, I do not know what love is (x3), but I expect it is a middle ground.
