August Lyrics by Maddy Ringo

Wake Up Woman

2023

[Verse 1]
\nSkin under the morning light
\nWhen the peaches are falling ripe (Ha!)
\nI'd die right now
\nShe calls when the morning's bright
\nAnd she loves in the dead of night
\nSoft spine to mouth
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd the magic turns lyrical
\nAnd the woman is spiritual
\nWhen she holds your hand
\nAnd she's taking off all her clothes
\nAnd she asks if your parents know
\nThat she's hiding in your bed
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nLove writes like Kerouac
\nTrain rides and paperbacks
\nHer sweet cliches
\nYou fall for everything
\nBoy on a puppet string
\nThese knots are safe
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd the magic turns lyrical
\nAnd the woman is spiritual
\nShe holds your hand
\nAnd she's taking off all her clothes
\nAnd she asks if your parents know
\nThat she's hiding in your bed
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nShe's just a little girl
\nWho likes to feel the heat rush through her veins
\nYou're crawling towards a man
\nWho misses playing adolescent games
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd the magic turns lyrical
\nAnd the woman is spiritual
\nWhen she holds your hand
\nAnd she's taking off all her clothes
\nAnd she asks if your parents know
\nThat she's hiding in your bed
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nSkin under the morning light
\nWhen the peaches are falling ripe
\nShe's dressing now
\nStanding inside the door
\nKnowing you don't need more
\nSome day, somehow
\nYou'll see her across the road
\nRemembering how she moaned her tired sighs
\nShe's found another world
\nBut you know the naked girl
\nAnd how she cries\n\n
