Billy Joel composed this wonderful song in 1977. It must be the time when he was dating Brinkley. You know those early days of love, when everything seems sooo wonderful. Life seems to emerge from the most inanimate things. You seem to notice everything… flowers, greenery, music… you smile at everyone. Even if u would try, u won’t be able to hide it. Yeah… that ephemeral part of life! Lucky are those who enjoy it more than once 
This is a light-hearted, happy song where Billy accepts “her” as she is, no matter what she does, just bcoz she’s a WOMAN!!! Bingo!!! You need to be a woman, and Mr. Billy Joel will do anything for you. LOL 
)))
If you haven’t gone through the lyrics of the song, do it now!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child, but she’s always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth, but she’ll never believe
And she’ll take what you give her as long it’s free
Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she’s always a woman to me
CHORUS
Ohhh… she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she’s ahead of her time
Ohhh… and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes her mind
And she’ll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleeding
But she’ll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself ’cause she’s always a woman to me
CHORUS
She’s frequently kind and she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she’s nobody’s fool
And she can’t be convicted, she’s earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
But she’s always a woman to me

This song beautifully brings out the negative aspects of a woman (or the only!! 
) in a major-pleasant scale.
Please let me know if you can find one good reason to love a woman according to this song! 
This song beautifully describes a women, love with whom can be extreamly adictive becaue she is nothing but the best a women can be (provided she is yours).
You get addicted to her and stand all that?? Its pretty high a price to pay for not being you
This song is about a woman with BPD -Borderline Personality Disorder.
Very painful for friends and partners.
Beautiful lyrics,
