英國靈魂歌姬〔麗莎.史坦菲爾德〕──靈魂/R&B抒情曲──描述家庭主婦辛勞的〔All Woman〕
Hes home again from another day
She smiles at him as he walks through the door
She wonders if it will be okay
Its hard for her when he doesnt respond
He says babe you look a mess
You look dowdy in that dress
Its just not like it used to be
Then she says...
Chorus:
I may not be a lady
But Im all woman
From monday to sunday I work harder than you know
Im no classy lady
But Im all woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
Youre not the only one
She stands there and lets the tears flow
Tears that shes been holding back so long
She wonders where did all the loving go
The love they used to share when they were strong
She says yes I look a mess
But I dont love any less
I thought you always thought enough of me to always be impressed
(Chorus)
He holds her and hangs his head in shame
He doesnt see her like he used to do
Hes too wrapped up in working for his pay
He hasnt seen the pain hes put her through
Attention that he paid
Just vanished in the haze
He remembers how it used to be
When he used to say
Youll always be a lady
Cos youre all woman
From monday to sunday I love you much more than you know
Youre a classy lady
Cos youre all woman
This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm
Youre the only one
Youre a classy lady
Cos youre all woman
So sweet the love that used to be
So sweet the love that used to be
We can be sweet again...
1991年秋天 25歲的英倫靈魂歌姬麗莎.史坦菲爾德(Lisa Stansfield)發行第二張個人大碟〔Real Love/真愛〕
獲得高度評價(滾石雜誌四星)
登上英國榜#3 拿下雙白金 其它地區亦有不錯成績
1991年底 麗莎推出第二單曲〔All Woman〕
這首靈魂/R&B抒情曲由史坦菲爾德與兩名製作人共同譜寫
描寫長期家庭犧牲付出 卻得不到丈夫理解的女子的心聲
頗有兩年前凱倫懷特R&B經典〔Superwoman〕異曲同工之妙
〔All Woman〕拿到英國榜#20
在美國流行榜升到#56(成人抒情榜#21) 不過卻登上R&B榜后座 成為麗莎第三首節奏藍調榜冠軍
對一名白人還是英國籍的歌手來說相當難得
〔All Woman〕的成功也讓專輯銷售穩定 最後在美國拿到金唱片(專輯榜只升到#43)
國際方面:義大利#16 荷蘭#21 比利時(荷語區)#28 瑞典#38加拿大#50 澳洲#52
這是麗莎的流行靈魂經典之一
