What are you thinking when you're looking at me
   What can you tell me of reality?
   I'm only woman... not just a Fantasy
   and the flesh and blood is warmer than some color transparency
  
   Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
   You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
   I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
   cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
  
   What are you thinking when you push me away
   Was it some promise in your youth you made?
   Holding out for something or hoping to be saved
   Does it make you feel power or are you just afraid of me?
  
   Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
   You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
   I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
   cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
  
   I don't know
   if you say so
   got so many do's and don'ts my head is spinning
   Hey Romeo, j-j-j-just let get go
   maybe everything could use a little sinning
  
   Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
   You can try and reduce me but I'm so much more
   I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
   cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore
  
   Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
   You can try and reduce me but I'm so much more
   I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
   cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
  
   You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
   I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
   cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right
