Laura Nyro - A Woman of the World lyrics

There's peace of mind

now that I draw the line


will you be Runnin' Out Of Fools?

my love's got new rules

this time



because friends and lovers

could give the sun to each other

not this rain

I was a foolish girl

now I'm a woman of the world



wisdom, be mine

it's been a hard lesson

but I'm movin' up in school

where you learn to play it cool

and I just know this time



that friends and lovers

could give the sun to each other

not this pain

I was a foolish girl

now, baby

I'm a woman of the world—

a woman of the world

I'm free, free, free

my love's no competition

it's about—harmony



sweet harmony

I'll take my dream into the future

I'd only bring it back again

this time as friends



friends and lovers

who give the sun to each other

not this rain

if I was a foolish girl

baby, now

I'm a woman of the world
