Overview

"You Want to Be a Woman" was demoed acoustically at the band's rented office space in 2003, as a potential track for the band's planned fifth album. The song was one of hundreds of demos leaked onto riverscuomo.com on November 7, 2020. A few days later, on November 11, the song was listed and quickly sold to a user on the site's demo storefront, where it was thereafter shared among fans. The song was soon after released on November 22 as part of the digital compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.

Lyrics

I feel a dagger turning in my heart
I don't even know where I can start
Can we wake up from this dream?

You want to be a woman
What can I do?
You want to be a woman
Can I love you?

I ... the way you were
You were the one thing of which I was sure
Now you wanna blow my mind

You want to be a woman
What can I do?
You want to be a woman
Can I love you?

I don't know if I can adapt to this
There are so many thing that I will miss
I guess I should let it go

You want to be a woman
Can I love you?
You want to be a woman
What can I do?
