Good Woman Lyrics

Cover art for Good Woman lyrics by Cat Power

It's about the impossibility of being in love with someone who is married. She wants him to be a good man and she wants to be a good woman, but at the same time she wants to be with him, and she can't have all three.

One of the reasons she loves him is that he is a good man, but by being together he is being a bad man. She can't have her way.

i absolutely agree with ks001.
