June West - Island of Women Lyrics

Every man wants a suntan
From the Island of Women
The most pristine beaches
You'll ever see

He'll take what he wants
Then he'll go swimmin'
He'll show no remorse
As he takes, then he leaves
Oh Mister Man, please leave me what you can
Don't strip me of my clothes, don't trample on this rose

Though you might think you've come
A long, long way
Don't forget the lady
Who gave you the strength to stay

You're wrapped up in robes
Feathered in disguise
Boy, do you look grand
Masked behind your lies?

Trouble has taken love's peace away
The Island of Women will vanish in the haze
You know he'll use her as long as it pays
Until she feels the power of his gaze

Every man wants a suntan
From the Island of Women
