Lyrics

Woman of the World

I turn on the TV
Or I look through a magazine
How come all the ladies
Look like they're 17
I'm not a kid anymore
I wouldn't wanna be
And women that grew up, too
They're all right with me

Gimme a woman over 30
Who ain't afraid to get her hands dirty
Somebody who's been around the block
Likes Country Music but
She knows how to rock
Gimme a woman over 40
'Cause they know how to love you
Oh Lordy
I'm not looking for a younger girl
I need a woman of the world

It's a shame and a crime
But it's the same
Wherever you go
This year's model
Is always gonna
Steal the show
It's just the way of the world
DIdn't say that it made
Any sense
But I know
There's no substitute
For experience

Gimme a woman over 30
Who ain't afraid to get her hands dirty
Somebody who's been around the block
Likes Country Music but
She knows how to rock
Gimme a woman over 40
'Cause they know how to love you
Oh Lordy
I'm not looking for a younger girl
I need a woman of the world

Whatever happened
To gentle and kind
I'm not looking for someone
To blow my mind
Whatever happened
To leaving it all behind

Gimme a woman over 30
Who ain't afraid to get her hands dirty
Somebody who's been around the block
Likes Country Music but
She knows how to rock
Gimme a woman over 40
'Cause they know how to love you
Oh Lordy
I'm not looking for a younger girl
I need a woman of the world
I'm not looking for a younger girl
I need a woman of the world
