Child Woman, Woman Child
Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison
you do voodoo, thunder clouds above you
Crazy, kooky, lazy spooky, oh what a clown, always around
And I have found you're a woman. child woman. woman child
Long legged woman when I see you walking you look good
Hey little woman when I hear you talking you sound good
Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
You're into my mind then you're out of my mind child woman
You wind and unwind my mind,
time after time child woman ooh child woman, yeah child woman
Flying uptight, don't know where you're going,
trying your kite when the wind is blowing
funny lady, sunny, shady off to the fair, sun in your hair
Oh, you're aware you're a woman child woman, woman child
Strong minded woman when you start groovin' you look fine
My kind of woman when you start movin' you look fine
Child woman, woman child you're driving me wild child woman woman child
I don't see you there, I see you everywhere child woman
I don't even care -yes, I really do care child woman, ooh child woman,
hey child woman child woman, woman child
Child Woman, Woman Child
