Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

Woman don't need no run around
Don't need no truth in disguise
She only goes by
That look of love in her eye
There ain't no other side to see
She plays it so easily
And I gotta love her, oh
When she shows it to me

But oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes
Yeah, the woman comes and goes
When she's satisfied

I might not see her for days
Then she bumps in, in a haze
I like how her mind works
And I love how it plays
She gets her kick and she leaves
And leaves me weak in the knees
A bitter smile but
A lot of sweet memories

But oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes, yeah
Yeah, the woman comes and goes
When she's satisfied

Oh, she comes
Oh, she goes
Oh, she's satisfied
Watch out now, watch out now, when she comes, when she comes, right

She don't need no run around (the woman, ooh)
She leaves me weak in the knees (the woman, ooh)
And when she shows it to me (the woman, ooh)
That's how she comes and goes
She goes

Because I like it, I love it
I like it, I love it (oh, the woman comes and goes)
I like it, I love it (When the morning comes she goes)
I like it, I love it (Yeah, the woman comes and goes)
Yeah, yeah the woman comes and goes when she's satisfied

And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I like it, I love it
I like it, I love it (yeah, yeah)
I like it, I love it
I like it, I love it (woman comes)
Yeah the woman comes and goes when she's satisfied

And ooohh
I like it, I love it
I like it, I love it (when she comes)
I like it, I love it
I like it, I love it (when she goes)
Yeah the woman comes and goes when she's satisfied

She comes, she goes, she comes, she goes
Because I really like it (I like it, I love it)
I really like it (I like it, I love it)
I really like it (I like it, I love it)
I really like it (I like it, I love it)
I really like it (I like it, I love it)
I really, really like it (Yeah the woman comes and goes when she's satisfied)
(Repeat til fade)

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
