Annie Lennox lyrics Album: Songs of Mass Destruction Year: 2007 Womankind lyrics

One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out

Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shining
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver lining
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It's not part of my destination

I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things
And all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinking that I want to get too close to you

Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waiting
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer
I'm clearly stating
I need to change this circumstance

You could be the best damn thing
That hasn’t happened yet to me
You could be the best thing
To come into my mythology
We could have the kinda dream they call a great affinity
Want to turn it into something like reality
Hold me now
I'm tired of waiting
Hold me now
1'm asking you
Hold me now
No more anticipating
Why won't you come to my rescue?

Ooh baby’s got precious eyes
And when he smiles
The sun comes blasting
I wish that feeling of contentment
Would be everlasting
I would be so happy
To give him all my dedication
I would be so happy
But its only my imagination

Ooh...
This is for the womankind
Ooh...
Singing for the womankind
Ooh...
That’s right for the womankind
Ooh...

How many doors must I go through
These constant dreams that I pursue
I can see possibilities in you
Yea here we go again
Is this too good to be true?
I had this thing galled love
Still don't know what it is
Maybe I've had enough
Oh save me please
All my wants are becoming needs
Tell me what you feel
Stripped bare for you to see
Yea every desire go through the fire
This is what I give of me
If I could just be free
Baby won't you rescue me?
Baby won't you rescue me?
Every desire go through the fire
Lay me down
I wanna be
Under your skin
