The New Woman lyrics

[TADEUSZ]
The new woman
Strides through the world
The new woman
Drives a motorcar
The new woman
Pursued at every turn
By gentlemen filled with admiration

[TAMARA]
The new woman
Shows her profile
No longer looking down, demure
But to the horizon
She wants more

[TADEUSZ]
Than you could ever give her

[TAMARA]
More life

[TADEUSZ]
She will devour

[TAMARA]
More men
[TADEUSZ]
She will devour

[BOTH]
More speed and grace and power
The nеw woman

[TADEUSZ]
And maybe I need a new woman
Someonе amusing who won't give me grief

[TAMARA]
A little bit dumb?

[TADEUSZ]
Oh, would be a relief
Honestly

[TAMARA]
Honestly

[TADEUSZ]
Who looks up at me
Eyes filled with admiration

[TAMARA]
Not a moment's hesitation
[BOTH]
A new woman

[TADEUSZ]
Someone amusing

[TAMARA]
And carefree

[BOTH]
In line

[TADEUSZ]
Well, I don't want a new woman
I want

[TAMARA]
I want

[TADEUSZ]
A million miles of road
From where we were to where we are
It's hard to believe
A million miles of road
It's only made me love you more
Don't ask me to just watch you leave
[TAMARA]
I'll never leave you

[TADEUSZ]
A million miles of road
From a boy and a girl
In a Petrograd night

[TAMARA]
How could I leave you?

[TADEUSZ]
A million miles of road
I won't give you up
Not without a fight

I know she's still in there
That girl, wide-eyed
The only one I ever wanted
By my side
The girl who would cling to me
Like a vine

Well, I don't want a new woman
I want the woman who's mine
