[Chorus]
Woman, oh why, why, why, why, why
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh, where, where, where, where, where
Did you get that gun?
Oh, what have I done?
What have I done?

[Verse 1]
Well, I met her at the bottom of a well (Of a well)
Well, I told her I was trying to break a spell (Break a spell)

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't get by, my hands are tied
I don't know why I ever got her to try myself
'Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied

[Chorus]
Oh, woman, oh why, why, why, why, why
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh, where, where, where, where, where
Did you get that gun?
Oh, what have you done?
Oh, woman, what have you done?

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm fed up with your lying, cheating ways (Cheating ways)
But I get up every morning and every day (Every day)

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't get by, my hands are tied
I don't why I want her to try myself
'Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied

[Chorus]
Oh, woman, oh why, why, why, why, why
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh, where, where, where, where, where
Did you get that gun?
Woman, what, hey, what have I done?
Oh, what have you done?
Woman what have I done?

[Outro]
Oh!
Oh woman, why? Baby, baby
Woman, why?
Baby baby baby baby
Woman why?
Woman oh why?
Oh woman, oh why, oh why, oh why?
Oh

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
