The second Wanderer single, “Woman” featuring Lana Del Rey, was released on August 15, 2018. “Woman” was the last addition to the album, and the only song recorded after Marshall’s split with Matador.
You know, that was the first song I started recording and it was the last song I finished and it w...
[Intro: Cat Power]
Woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman
[Verse 1: Cat Power]
If I had a dime for every time
Tell me I'm not what you need
If I had a quarter, I would pull it together
And I would take it to the bank and then leave
Yes, I would take it to the bank and then leave
[Verse 2: Cat Power, Lana Del Rey & Both]
If you know people who know me
You might want them to speak
To tell you 'bout the girl or the woman they know
More than you think you know about me
More than you think you know me
See you walkin' in circles (Circles)
See you talkin' in circles (Circles)
See your thoughts runnin' in circles
Could walk around all day long, followin' me
Doctor said I was better than ever
Man, you shoulda seen me
Doctor said I was not my past
He said I was finally free
[Pre-Chorus: Cat Power & Lana Del Rey]
Taking the charge (Taking the charge)
I took the lead (I took the lead)
I need you to believe
[Chorus: Cat Power & Lana Del Rey]
I'm a woman of my word, now haven't you heard?
My word's the only thing I've ever needed
I'm a woman of my word, now you have heard
My word's the only thing I truly need
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
[Verse 3: Cat Power, both]
Your money's like a weapon, a tool to get me
You think I'm like the other ones
Well, my money's like a weapon, tool for me
No, I'm not like those other ones
A cage is like a weapon, a tool for me
You think I'm like the other ones
Well, my cage is a weapon, it's perfect for me
It's the one suit they seem to not see
[Chorus: Cat Power & Lana Del Rey]
I'm a woman of my word, now haven't you heard?
My word's the only thing I've ever needed
I'm a woman of my word, now you have heard
My word's the only thing I truly need
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
Woman, woman, woman, woman
[Outro: Cat Power & Both]
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
I'm a woman, woman, woman, woman
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
Woman, woman, woman

You know, that was the first song I started recording and it was the last song I finished and it was never included on the album for my ex-label when I delivered the album to them — and they rejected it, so there was a year of time where I needed to find what I was going to do with my life. Am I goi...
Cat Power told Creative Loafing:
Lana became a kind of refelction of my past, when there was a community of bands and friends touring together. With record stores closing, the music scene changing, people quitting the band, we grew up and went our own ways. Lana showed me an appreciation of what I’...
