Women Of Today
((French Version: Les Filles d'Aujourd'hui (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Anywhere I stare, girls are always there in plenty
Nearly fully bloomed, curly and perfumed and scenty
And I get as high as I did when I was twenty
You carry me away, women of today

In their denim jeans, to the tv screen they glue me
Thoughts of ev'ry kind, in my dreamy mind pursue me
Can't they realise how their pretty eyes undo me
You're more than I can say, women of today

I'm completely attracted, it's true
But what does it take to make it with you

Back in sixty-two, all we had to do was flatter
With a little wine and a little line of chatter
But to modern birds, all the charming words don't matter
Oh, teach me what to say, women of today

Since the world began, woman was for man created
She may treat him rough, he may feel he's suffocated
Still he takes the knocks, like a fool intoxicated
You hold us in your sway, women of today

Walking down the street, good enough to eat, she thrills me
In a passing crowd, arrogant and proud, she chills me
Lying on the beach, just beyond my reach, it kills me
Near, yet so far away, women of today

You take your independence with ease
But I'm on my knees, oh, liberate me, please

Out of Adam's rib you have won your liberation
But you can't destroy that old girl meets boy vibration
Any guys's a nut who denies that gut sensation
You take my breath away, women of today
