Songs with the word "woman" in them

My friend and I have this longstanding joke of calling each other "woman". I am thinking about making her a CD for her birthday with a bunch of songs that have this word in the title or prominently in the lyrics.

There's "Woman" by John Lennon, and that Moby Song that has "hey... woman" in the chorus. Any other ideas for good songs I could include?

We just started saying it instead of "hey, man" to be gender appropriate. It was one of our feminist coworkers who started it.

Maxwell – This Woman's Work
Thanks - I'll look that one up.

There's a Bryan Adams song too, but I couldn't bring myself to post it. It sounded like wannabe romantic mariachi.

My personal favourite "woman" song is Vaya Con Dios - What's a Woman -

I was just trying to guess your age from those songs because some of them are close to what I like. :biggrin: You look like in 25-28s?

A different version of 'When a Man Loves a Woman' by Percy Sledge.

This one reminds me of Tracy Chapman, kind of.

(Just realized there's no title for this one. It's nancy Sinatra, 'Kind of a Woman'.)

Nope. I'm 35. A boyish face with a receeding hairline, kind of a mixed blessing.

Just found combination of Alica Keys, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, Led Zeppelin, and Elvis bit strange considering that Alica Keys is very new and mostly target teenagers I believe. So, most people over 30s wouldn't even know who is Alica Keys or that's what I always believed.

I like a lot of music, old and new. My brother is 25. He keeps me up on all the hip hop and R&B. He's a big fan of Alicia Keys. I think she's pretty great too. Oh, and google helps too.

This is the only one I can think of that hasn't been covered yet (Huck, Tsu and Borek got the rest):

Ooh, that reminded me of another one, and not just any other one - this is probably the definitive feminist "woman" song:

Now I can't stop - here's another classic:



And the one that Huck refuses to stoop to is probably Bryan Adams' "Have you ever really loved a woman".

Billy Joel's song, "She's always a woman", was my first thought.

Reaching back a ways

Santana - Black Magic Woman

Spirit - Water Woman, Dark-eyed Woman

and I would mention The Hollies: Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress (already mentioned)

Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone. I love them. I especially like the ones where the singer calls another person "woman".
