    Lyrics:
    She can kill with a smile
    She can wound with her eyes
    She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
    And she only reveals what she wants you to see
    She hides like a child
    But she's always a woman to me
    She can lead you to love
    She can take you or leave you
    She can ask for the truth
    But she'll never believe
    And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
    Yeah, she steals like a thief
    But she's always a woman to me

    I’ve been very overwhelmed with school and the future and I’ve been feeling so stressed and tired. I finally told my dad about it and he took me to get food and listened to my fears and doubts. He was so understanding. I thought he would be mad and tell me to suck it up. We finished our food and we got in the car to go home. He put on this song and I started crying. He just looked at me with understanding and pet my hair( he hasn’t done that since I was a little girl). I’m crying writing this but now I feel like maybe everything is gonna be okay.

      I’m in a somewhat similar situation, I ain’t really been myself for over a year now (I won’t go into details) but this song and ‘Hurt’ by Nine Inch Nails always just help me to vent. Anyway, know you ain’t alone and keep your head up, Queen 👑.

      Everything will be ok. Life is so scary and stressing, but you'll always get through the scary and hard times. Thinking of you, just remember when your young things sometimes feel like they're never gonna get easier, but they do, and someday it will all be a distant memory and you'll be in a happy place in your life.... love Tracy from Ireland 💞💞💞

    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
    Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
    But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
    Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me

    Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
    She just changes her mind
    She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
    But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
    And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
    And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

A cameraman and his buddy walked right up to the World Trade Center plaza directly underneath the two towers as debris was raining down and people were falling to their deaths. And while all this was going on an instrumental version of this song was playing on the plaza speakers.

      I thought I was the only one, I’m 23 now but I discovered Billy Joel at 15 years old and I couldn’t explain then why I am so touched by his music but as my life has developed I know completely understand his artistic value. I saw him in concert at age 18, I was probably the only Mexican boy by himself there at least it felt that way to me. I will always remember his concert.

    An instrumental version of this played on a playlist used to entertain visitors of the original WTC complex and played during 9/11 as the attacks unfolded, people jumping and the eventual collapse. This song played till the towers fell like a farewell siren to all those they faithfully served till the bitter end. This is why this song has such a profound meaning to me.

      Really? I don't hear the lyrics as angry at all. I think you're misinterpreting. I hear understanding admiration. I hear recognition of her humanity. He sees her power and her flaws.

I hear fluidity of a person since this is what i have experienced. sometimes i am kind but i dont consider myself a kind person because i am also selfish at times. the lyrics are reallya piece of art to bring out so much diverse interpretation.

    Who knew back in 1970's.... This song played ironically on 9/11/2001 on the WTC Plaza 20-30 minutes before the collapse of the Twin Towers... Alongside with the How Deep is your Love.... Although the songs were playing on instrumental version the power of these lyrics is remarkable... Even when you don't actually hear them, your brain is singing them... And most ironically.... The lyrics of this song along with the lyrics of ''How Deep is your Love'' seems like a prophecy or a poem dedicated to the peace (which was lost on 9/11), and for all those innocent emotions and good intentions that people had in the past.... Many people has described these lyrics as the farewell of the Twin Towers to a world that was about to change... They had right... Nothing is the same today... We changed, the world changed... If we keep behaving this way to other people, to the animals, to the enviroment we will end up destroying ourselves... The change is on our hands... We love these decades and we have to build a world (at least) better than what we see on videos today....

I'm only 22, but in early highschool, I had a friend (who I wound up in a short relationship with) who was raised unbelievably religiously and her parents were so incredibly protective and at 14, all she was allowed to watch were Christian films and Veggie Tales. So we'd have movie nights and watch Harry Potter together and Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, or other movies deemed too "evil" by her parents. Movies were a whole new world to her. God, that was nearly a decade ago. Miss you Alyssa. hope all is well for you out there. You're always a friend to me.

    My late wife & I were newly weds in April of 1979. My late wife &
    I stayed married from April 5, 1979 up to her death on March 6, 2010, a month shy of being married 31 years, she was a wonderful wife, mother & woman. We met on January 16, 1975 when my ship
    Was in Subic Bay the third time during the 1974-1975 Westpac
    cruise when I was stationed aboard the USS Blue Ridge LCC-19.
    I plan to return home to my second country, the Philippines for
    good by October, 2017 and live out my life there.

      +Christopher O'Rourke my situation is a bit similiar except I met mine online in 2008, and after 5 long years we finally met in person. We both have learned a lot and broke up and went back out and finally plan to get married. I just got back from there last year and I can tell you its a fine place. I first went there myself in 1991-92 and it was amazing place. Were going thru the process of immigration and once done, me and her will be together and marry finally. Sometimes it takes time to grow and realize you have something wonderful, one day you have it and next you wake up and its gone. My heartfelt sympathies out to you and have a good life in the Philippines. If you get a chance visit Davao, very nice place to have a good life and the people in that part of the Philippines are very down to earth. Me and my future mrs plan to go back there and live our retirement out there. Good luck with your life there.

      Well you see this is the difference between a writer/singer and a simple singer.
      People who write their own music that is meaningful to them personally make fantastic music, the issue with the modern music industry is that it has made music into a simple consumer product, there is no real soul to it, in the modern music labels most folks are only interested on getting a paycheck.

    In my 60’s now, and I was the only customer at an off time in a wonderful kinda gourmet deli called Vine Ripe Market in Westfield NJ. They were playing light music and this song came on. Hadn’t heard it in years and I struggled recognizing it for 15 seconds and then thought wow, how beautiful. I never heard it like that before and I was stunned. I floated through the store picking out great food to the music. During checkout, the very young lady helping me was lightly crying. Moved by her, I asked her if she was ok. She said “Yes, I just can’t believe how beautiful this song is.” As I paid, I wished I was 40 years younger and politely told her “I know exactly how you feel”. Thanks Billy Joel.

    Lots of comments on the relationship this song is depicting. But it's about his ex-wife Elizabeth Weber who literally saved him from some financial ruin. It isn't about a toxic relationship - whether they had one or not - it's about Joel's reaction to the things said about his wife by those trying to take the mic (and his money).

      Sorry, but I did not understand exactly how Elizabeth Weber literally saved Billy Joel from financial ruin? My guess was that after his divorce to his first wife, he prospered with his next marriage to Christie Brinkley. Obviously, I didn't understand the full context of your statement, so it made me curious.
