Women behind bars, women in fast cars, women in distress, women with no dress
Women in airplanes, women who play games
Women in uniform, see that woman with her clothes gone

Women who satisfy, women you can't buy
Like women in magazines, and women in a limousine
Women who sip champagne, women who feel no pain
Women in a disco, and women who don't want to know, no no

Oh, women wanting sympathy, women feeling ecstasy
Women who live in fantasies, bringing man to his knees

Women who boil to love, women who need a shove
Women who can't be beat, get that woman in the back seat, yeah yeah
Women in the USA, those women steal your heart away
Women into rock 'n' roll, women who steal the show, go go go

Women that do write songs about, women that turn around and kick you out
Women you dream about all your life
Women that stab you in the back with a switchblade knife

Oh women, oohoo, talking 'bout women, all 'round the world
Yeah women, all the naughty girls, talking 'bout women, come on baby
