a woman of beauty
a woman of pain
in france or jakarta
her shadow's the same.
Chorus:
you go home with sally ann
you go home with sally ann
you go home.
a woman of kindness
with bracelets of jade
in china or japan
her choices are made.
Chorus.
a woman of chances
no family or friends
in argentina
she knows only men.
Chorus.
a woman of color
debts to be paid
in trenton or detroit
she lives by the blade
