Wonderful Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here her head, she lay
Until she'd rise and say
"I'm starved of mirth
Let's go and trip a dwarf"

[Chorus 1]
Oh, what to be done with her?
Oh, what to be done with her?
Her, her

[Post-Chorus]
Her, her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her
Her, Her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her

[Verse 2]
Ice water for blood
With neither heart or spine
And then just to pass time
Let us go and rob the blind

[Chorus 2]
What to be done with her?
I ask myself
What to be said of her?
Oh, her

[Post-Chorus]
Her, her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her
Her, Her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her

[Verse 3]
But when she calls me, I do not walk, I run
Oh, when she calls, I do not walk, I run
Oh, oh-oh, oh

[Outro]
Oh, her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her
Oh, Her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her
Oh, Her-her-her, her-her-her
Her, her-her
(Her)

About

Here’s what Morrissey said about this song (as quoted in Simon Goddard’s book ‘Songs That Saved Your Life’):

In a monotonous way, it’s quite tongue-and-cheek. The wonderful woman is actually an incredibly vicious person but still at the end of the day she had this incredible magnetic ray to me. All the things that she wanted to do, nasty as they were, were completely forgivable due to whatever reason. It’s all metaphysical.

“Wonderful Woman” was released as a B-side to “This Charming Man”.
