“What Ev'ry Woman Knows” is a jazz standard performed by the American jazz vocalist Etta Jones. The song, written by pianist and composer Sir Charles Thompson and lyricist Jon Hendricks, is a poignant ballad that showcases Jones' rich, soulful vocals. The lyrics of the song tell the story of a woman...
If his roaming eyes should stray
To some other gal, someday,
All you can do is pray they won't stay.
That feeling,
That's what every woman knows.
Times when things are looking bleak,
Then his lips will brush a cheek,
And you'll become delightfully weak
That feeling,
That's what every woman knows.
Oh, how strange, the change a man can make in you,
Just with a kiss or two.
Even though you know your heart will break in you,
If he should say "we're through,"
But what could you do?
Other men give you the eye, but you let em go right by,
Cus' for this gal, it's just one guy, Ooh. Mmm.
That feeling,
That's what every woman knows.
Other men give you the eye, but you let em go right by,
Cus' for this gal, it's just one guy, Ooh. Mmm.
That feeling,
That's what every woman knows.
