Could've sworn I heard you say amen this morning, showing some kind of sign
That you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning or just another trick to fall from
Your sleeve
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels? I guess I bring the devil out in
You
But we can both remove our halos 'cause even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Some things never change; Some things never stay the same
But you're so innocent, I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember for that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her or if I really need to ask
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman...
Half-man walks with no shadow of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in his face
Love carved sorry in his face
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman...
That you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning or just another trick to fall from
Your sleeve
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels? I guess I bring the devil out in
You
But we can both remove our halos 'cause even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Some things never change; Some things never stay the same
But you're so innocent, I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember for that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her or if I really need to ask
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman...
Half-man walks with no shadow of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in his face
Love carved sorry in his face
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman...

(morning was a blur, either due to dreams or the aftermath of intimacy)
Showing some kind of sign that you believe
(he is impressed to hear that she may believe that this was heaven sent - from God.)
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
(was it heartfelt?)
Or just another,
Just another trick to fall from your sleeve
(or are you just trying to keep me here, knowing how spiritual i am?)
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
(still not sure if i heard what i thought i heard)
I guess I bring the devil out in you
(if you are spiritual, our intimacy that was sparked by me, brought out the devil in you)
But we can both remove our halos
(we can both forget about God and become human - to fail)
'cause even an angel needs love too
(cause even somebody as angelic as you - who is still human - still needs intimacy)
Even angels needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
(the attraction between us and i worry that you and cut right through to my heart and therefore, intimacy)
My interpretation:
The song is about a one-night stand with somebody that he previously knew...
Then waking up and realizations that flood your mind begin to play with your thoughts...
But there is still and always be an attraction there that will always cut to your heart...
True passion between a man and a woman (in this instance) and how that intimacy effects his own "Self" - or completeness...
And for Ben Harper, that Self - or completeness is God.
God can deliver beauty and satisfaction in many ways, but the easiest to interpret is the attraction and following intimacy of a woman. And thats the worry in me. :)
i absolutaly love this song cause it reminds me of a person i just knew for a very short time, got very close and than had to say goodbye. This was his favourite song and in the short time that was given to us we just listened to this song.
possibility to interpret:
For me it´s about temptation: the woman( for me: the man) in this person means that she can´t resist attraction of the other sex and he is afraid that she could betray (betrayed?"No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in his face" ) him.So he, who loves her, suffers because he can´t be sure if she concedes or not. the line "Did it fall from your tongue without warning" means that she leaves him unsatisfield maybe sexual but i think more emotional. Their relationship is very close, but also full of tenseness because if you give in too much u could lose it all.
And even she´s an angel(looks like an angel) and is innocent, she makes human mistakes and that´s the reason they have to "remove their halos", she is not a perfect creature (as he believed in he beginning, cause it´s like that when u fall in love) and in the end there will be pain."How I hate to remember for that means the day is past" means that he wishes back those sweet days of innocent believe in their love and her being good but now his ability to trust (in women) is wasted and gone because of her- but he still loves her and just can´t get away from her..
Thanx for listening;-)
Ben in this song is saying how he's afraid of losing his relationship with this girl, and he finds nothing to blame his fear on except for the fact that shes a woman. He doesn't understand why the girl acts like she does sometimes (for whatever reason it may be) and he can't tell her that shes the one to blame so he'll "take all the blame". And he hates to remember how the relationship used to be because if its a memory, its past, and it will never be like it was ever again.
I really like that comment by jaywarrietto, I'm happy for you mate. I'm in a similar situation to what you were in, except I've just been told that this girl who my heart has been set on for ages doesn't like me in the way that I like her...its pretty crushing, I mean I've been a great friend to her for so long, but I wont wallow here. All I'm saying is that is what this song is to me. I'm afraid that I'm going to lose this girl to some guy who might be better looking or more outgoing. The woman in her is what is worrying me heh.
This is a great song. It displays the lyrical talent as well as musical talent that Ben Harper possesses. As if any guy hasn't felt this way about a girl. But how many composers can actually convey the feeling successfully? not many
