Are you trying to put me on?   I turned around and it was gone   Did I leave it in your car? On a table in a bar?   Or in your bed between the sheets?   The places where we used to meet   Wherever love has gone I need to know      'Cause she's a woman   Oh yeah, she's a woman   Ma, ma, ma, she's a lady   And I just love the way she moves   The way she moves, watch her      When you left   I didn't know how I was going to forget you   I was hanging by a thread and then I met her   Selling pictures of herself to German business men   Well, that's all she wants to do      Come on, come on   I don't want to try too hard   I don't want to wait too long   I don't want to live alone   with all this crap that pulls me down   Oh, tell me now, how would it feel   If I could touch you once again?      Where have you gone? Where have you gone?   The moon has gone down on the sun, oh, yeah   I know that you're coming home   You wouldn't leave me on my own   Everybody can't you see she's coming back to me?      Whilst you were gone I got along   I didn't die, I carried on   I went drinking every night, just so I could feel alright   Stayed in bed all day to feel okay   I felt okay, oh, I felt sick and tired, yes I did      She lived at her father's place   Played his records though they jumped   Wore her body back to front   I tried hard to make it work   Kissed her where she said it hurt   But I was always underneath      'Cause she's a woman   Oh, yeah, baby, she's a woman   Ma, ma, ma, she's a lady   And I just love the way she moves   The way she moves      I don't know why you pretend   That it causes you pain   When you know very well   You're going to do it again   You're going to do it again   You're going to do it again   And again, and again, again, again, again   But can you keep it going all night long?      Ma, ma, ma   Ma, ma, ma   Ma, ma, ma   Shake it, shake it   Shake your body, yeah      I know it's going to happen   It might not be today   It might not be tomorrow   Or even the day after   But some time soon, you're gonna see   You're gonna, you're gonna   You're going to come back to me      Whilst you were gone I got along.   I didn't die, I carried on   I went drinking every night, just so I could feel alright   Stayed in bed all day to feel okay, I felt okay      Where have you gone? Where have you gone?   The moon has gone down, gone down on the sun, oh   I know that you're coming home   You wouldn't leave me on my own   Everybody can't you see she's coming back to me?      Where have you gone? Where have you gone?   No, I didn't die, oh, no, I carried on, yeah   I went drinking every night, just so I could feel alright   Stayed in bed all day to feel okay, I felt okay      Whilst you were gone I got along   I didn't die, I carried on   Ya, I went with other women   What else can I say? I guess I kind of missed you   Whilst you were away, whilst you were gone   Stop
