lyrics

Oh! dear - what can the matter be?
You're still single and I'm still free
Well nobody said it was going to be easy
To find us a remedy
I can’t help but wonder where all this will end
Without the confusion or suffering
But I won’t just sit back and watch you pretend
That you can’t see what’s happening

But you don't have to look so surprised
It's clear that you're still in disguise
and two wrongs won't make it right

Well you stepped into the shade
Why you hide there is anyones guess
Cos you're strange, you're wild, you're something erratic
Oh! woman - you're a beautiful mess
Woman - you're a beautiful mess

Oh dear! What can the matter be
You’re still shrouded in mystery
And without any reason you’re destined to be
Another bruised casualty

So you don't have to look so surprised
Its clear that you’re still in disguise
Cause two wrongs won't make it right

Well you stepped into the shade
Why you hide there is anyones guess
Cos you're strange, you're wild, you're something erratic
Oh! woman - you're a beautiful mess
Woman - you're a beautiful mess

And gravity just pulls me closer to you
With each passing day I feel battered and bruised
I can’t figure out but if only I knew
I’d give away all of my secrets and follow this through

Well you stepped into the shade
Why you hide there is anyones guess
You're strange, you're wild, you're something erratic
Oh! woman - you're a beautiful mess
Woman - you're a beautiful mess

Oh! woman - you're a beautiful woman
You're a beautiful woman
You're a beautiful mess
