Seems I live my whole life just like every other man
Tryin to figure out everything I can
About the way you work and all your wicked ways
There's no way of winning all these games you make us play
I think I got it all figured out then you gotta go and change
I'm a fast sinkin' ship baby and you're the one to blame
You took all of my courage and nailed it to the wall
Now I'm hung up like an innocent fool with no where, no where to fall
It's the mystery of a woman
They don't know why they do what they do
It's the mystery of a woman
Oh how I wish I knew what they knew
I don't think that I got all the answers, son, I'm not a preacher man
It's just the way I feel, you don't have to understand
But the same's been done to you though you've heard it all before
Might as well quit trying to find the key that opens up, opens up that door
It's the mystery of a woman
They don't know why they do what they do
It's the mystery of a woman
Oh how I wish I knew what they knew
When you take my breath away, where does it go?
I guess you take it to a place that I'll never know
There's so much to be considered when dealing with hearts like mine
You always act like you don't care, you don't act like that this time
Thats the mystery of a woman
They don't know why they do what they do
Oh, Thats the mystery of a woman
Oh how I wish I knew, how I wish I knew,
Oh how I wish I knew what they knew.
