Analysis of What A Woman Wants

What A Woman Wants
By Steve Cavin
What does a woman want?
What can you bring?
A house,
A child,
A wedding ring?
A chance to laugh,
A chance to sing.
What does she want?
She wants everything.
What does a woman want?
She want to know.
A life,
A love,
A place to grow.
That you will stay,
That you won’t go.
What does she want?
She wants to know.
What does a woman want?
Someone who cares.
A friend,
A partner,
A little fresh air!
Someone to love,
Someone to bear.
What does she want?
She wants to share.
