Comments from the "Natural
Selection" liner notes (by Mark Seymour):
Based on a real conversation heard through a wall. A woman was
telling her lover that he wasn't doing her justice. I was drawn to the plight of
whoever he was. Sadly, as I grew up, I realised that all men must face the wrath
of a woman's scorn alone.
Lyrics
Well
Just the other night I come home
After three months
Of constant grind and travel
And I went snivellin': I went crawling
Around to my girlfriend's house
And she came down hard upon me
And she ground her finger
Into my breastbone
And she said, She said
"You don't make me feel
like I'm a woman anymore.
You don't make me feel
like I'm a woman anymore
You don't make me feel like
I'm a woman anymore!"
And I know: I know
It's been a long time
Seems like it's been going on forever
And my heart
My heart is beating too big
It's beating too big
For the space that's meant to hold it
So goodnight
Goodnight my little lovely.
As we turn
As we turn down the lights
Say goodbye
Goodbye to the naked truth
Your skin is lookin' weary
And your eyes are closing down on the day
Oh yeh, you don't make me feel
Like I'm a woman anymore
Ahhh well I know
I know
It's been a long time
Seems like it's been going on forever
But just as black is white
Yeah and just as night is day
The light is gunna leave you
And you're gunna fade away
So goodnight
Goodbye my little lovely
As we turn
As we turn down the lights
Say goodnight
Goodnight to the naked truth
Your skin is looking weary
And your eyes are closing down on the day.
