Seems I live my whole life just like every other man Trying to figure out everything I can About the way you work and all your wicked ways There's no way of winning all these games you make us play I think I got it all figured out then you gotta go and change I'm a fast sinkin' ship baby and you're the one to blame You took all of my courage and nailed it to the wall Now I'm hung up like an innocent fool with no where, no where to fall It's the mystery of a woman They don't know why they do what they do It's the mystery of a woman Oh how I wish I knew what they knew I don't think that I got all the answers, son, I'm not a preacher man It's just the way I feel, you don't have to understand But the same has been done to you though you've heard it all before Might as well quit trying to find the key that opens up, opens up that door It's the mystery of a woman They don't know why they do what they do It's the mystery of a woman Oh how I wish I knew what they knew When you take my breath away, where does it go? I guess you take it to a place that I'll never know There's so much to be considered when dealing with hearts like mine You always act like you don't care, you don't act like that this time Thats the mystery of a woman They don't know why they do what they do Oh, Thats the mystery of a woman Oh how I wish I knew, how I wish I knew, Oh how I wish I knew what they knew.
