Son and Daughter (Live at the Rainbow, London / November 1974) Lyrics

(Freddie: This is a number called 'Son And Daughter')

I want you
So watch out

Tried to be your son and daughter
Rolled into one, yes I did
You said you'd equal any man
For having your fun

Ooh, now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit
A woman expects a man
To buckle down and a shovel
What'll you do for loving
If it's only just begun, yeah

I want you
To be a woman

Well I tried to be a preacher
And a fisher of men
An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same
Well I travelled all round
The world and found
A brand new word for day
Watching the time
Never linger behind
Pardon me, I have to get away
What'll you do for heaven
If it's back from where you came
Listen:
I want you
Freddie: And then what? What's that?
To be a woman
I want you to be a woman

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
