Laura Nyro - A Woman of the World Lyrics

There’s peace of mind
Now that I draw the line
Will you be runnin’ out of fools?
My love’s got new rules
This time

Because friends and lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this rain
I was a foolish girl
Now I’m a woman of the world

Wisdom, be mine
It’s been a hard lesson
But I’m movin’ up in school
Where you learn to play it cool
And I just know this time

That friends and lovers
Could give the sun to each other
Not this pain
I was a foolish girl
Now, baby
I’m a woman of the world—
A woman of the world
I’m free, free, free
My love’s no competition
It’s about—harmony

Sweet harmony
I’ll take my dream into the future
I’d only bring it back again
This time as friends

Friends and lovers
Who give the sun to each other
Not this rain
If I was a foolish girl
Baby, now
I’m a woman of the world
