Call it social commentary
Call it just what me eyes see
Seems that there’s more pretty women
Than there are fish in the sea
…Woman in love
You see there’s girls who like your money
Girls who like your car
Girls who like to sip champagne
And feed on caviar
…Woman in love
Send me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I’ll wrap ’em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain’t nothing
She can’t rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
But there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
If lust is just a dirty dog
I’ve been scratching with the fleas
I’ve been waking up your neighbours
Barking up your tree
I went down to the shopping mall
To get it off my mind
But it’s like sleeping with the enemy
If you’re not deaf and blind
I tried to run
But it was too late for me
I tried to hide
Since the day Adam met Eve
‘Til I turned on the television
And I looked up on the screen
I saw a hundred pretty girls
Sing this song on MTV
Send me some silk stockings
Smooth-talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I’ll wrap ’em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain’t nothing she can’t rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain’t secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without ’em
But you’re asking too much
You see I’ve slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah
I’ve traveled all around the world
Across the seven seas
Got everything I wanted
There’s just one thing I need
It hasn’t changed forever
Fathers tell your sons
That there ain’t nothing like
A thing called love
You know there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain’t nothing she can’t rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain’t secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without ’em
But you’re asking too much
You see I’ve slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain’t no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah
A Celebration of Love’s Power
“Woman In Love” by Bon Jovi is a lively tribute to the transformative force of love and the unique strength women possess when they’re in love. The lyrics playfully explore the allure of romance and the irresistible charm of women, weaving together witty observations and heartfelt admiration. Through clever metaphors—comparing love to the ability to move mountains or part seas—the song elevates the idea of romantic devotion as something both magical and essential.
The Quest for Genuine Connection
The narrative contrasts superficial attractions with the desire for a deep, authentic relationship. Whether referencing material desires or playful escapades, Bon Jovi emphasizes that nothing compares to the connection found with a “woman in love.” The song’s catchy chorus and energetic delivery reinforce the message that real love is unbeatable, surpassing fleeting desires or material indulgences.
