I'm so tired
Of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be
A woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room
Yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be
A woman
I just wanna be a woman
So don't you stop bein' a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be here
A woman
It's all I wanna be is a woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
Its time to move over
I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play

Stunning track from a stunning (debut!) album. I’m not sure why I had it rated a 9 when it’s clearly a 10. Fixed now.

I adore this track, it hits all the right spots. It's a solid 10 for me.
It is also one of those tracks that bridges time, it is simply timeless. I wonder if it will still be as wonderful in 30 years hence?

It’s weird enough hearing the John Martyn version, which I think is excellent in its own right. See SECA_Alan’s great comment on that version re: hearing a male covering those lyrics.
Would be funny to hear someone like Toby Keith or Leonard Cohen doing a cover of this song, without changing any of the lyrics, including "I just wanna be a woman".

Just sooo f'n cool this tune. Love the album!!
Technically excellent, and really excises the feeling of being a woman. One of my all time favourites; gorgeous in every aspect.
Almost 30 years old. It gets better with age!
First heard this the movie/soundtrack Stealing Beauty The whole soundtrack is terrific

Wow! An 8.2 average rating must be amongst the highest on RP (my 10 helps). Fully deserved.

That's a completely awful misread of the lyric.
She wants him to treat her as more than a thing to have, more of an equal. She wants respect, romantic affection, etc. She wants him to try looking at things from her perspective. She wants to be in love with him, she wants to settle down, but she wants him to be worthy of her attentions.
She wants him to be a man. Otherwise, she'll just be a memory, a regret,
She's looking under rocks for a man.

Having heard John Martyn's version on RP last week, it's now the only version I like to hear.
Yes, Portishead's is very haunting but JM adds soul and meaning IMO.
I would never down rate a track just because I don't like it so kudos to the 8.3 from other listeners. LLRP

In my day, Glory Box had quite a different connotation; but then, I'm ancient.
BTW This is one of the first tracks I found on Napster.

I might be biased as I'm most recently from Portishead, but I love this album. I sat down and listened to it again last week, every track is outstanding, but I would pick out my favourites, Pedestal, Numb and Roads. Not to mention Western Eyes from the second album.

Wow, been a while. I need to dig out this vinyl and crank at 11 in a dark room this weekend
Beth Gibbons is an incendiary singer.
Simply just love this song, the bass line is really good and hits the right spots in me.

This song sounds younger than its 22 years. I would push its rating from 7->8 but the last 30 seconds are a bit crap.

This scores a 10 on my scale, which basically means: “it is impossible to play this too often,” within limits of reasonable behaviour of course. This was last played five days ago, which is perfectly reasonable. Once every day would still be reasonable. Once every 30 minutes would not be reasonable, as I experienced first-hand through a colleague who once had a 7-song playlist on endless repeat… Which actually was what made me search for a good internet radio to escape from it, and then I found RP, so at least one good thing came out of it.
I think this song tops the play count on RP. I hear this song for years now every few days.
Not complaining though. It's still good.
