White Town - Your Woman (Official HD Video)

HALLOO AND WELCOME YELLOWJACKETS FANS, TERE PYAAR MAIN FANS , TODD IN THE SHADOWS FANS, DUA LIPA FANS *AND* FEAR STREET FANS! :-D
This is the official music video for White Town’s 1997 global hit ‘Your Woman’.
*IT'S NOT STAR WARS!!!* In the '90s, I bought the CD soundtrack for Dennis Potter's 'Pennies From Heaven' and on it was an amazing 1932 song called 'My Woman,' by Lew Stone And The Monseigneur Band, vocal by Al Bowlly. (This itself was a cover of the original by none other than Bing Crosby!) And that song started with a beautiful trumpet hook...

My track was the first to sample that catchy hook and it's now been sampled by Dua Lipa in her new track “Love Again”.

‘Your Woman’ reached number 1 in the charts in the UK, Spain and Iceland, and was Top 10 in 12 other countries as well as reaching number 23 in the US Billboard chart.

Lyrics:
just tell me what you’ve got to say to me,
i’ve been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
it comes as no surprise at all you see,
so cut the crap and tell me that we’re through.

now i know your heart, i know your mind,
you don’t even know you’re being unkind,
so much for all your highbrow marxist ways,
just use me up and then you walk away,
boy you can’t play me that way.

well i guess what you say is true,
i could never be the right kind of girl for you,
i could never be your woman.

when i saw my best friend yesterday,
she said she never liked you from the start,
well me, i wish that i could claim the same,
but you always knew you held my heart.
and you’re such a charming handsome man,
now i think i finally understand,
is it in your genes?, i don’t know,
but i’ll soon find out, that’s for sure,
why did you play me this way?

well i guess what you say is true,
i could never be the right kind of girl for you,
i could never be your woman.

well i guess what they say is true,
i could never spend my life with a man like you,
i could never be your woman.

The way it switches rhyme schemes is amazing. It’s so rare nowadays, which is unfortunate.

[genxrando]

I've never gotten tired of this song. 90s music was *chef's kiss*

[Minivan_Man]

One of the few timeless songs. This could come out tomorrow and be a hit again.

[Maximus-hqcz]

I've loved this tune since the first time I heard it in the 90's... Forever a classic, never get tired of listening to this jam.

[matttom]

This is one of the most 90’s songs from the 90’s. We will never have music like this again. Thanks for keeping it alive

[RicoLen]

That feeling you get when you re-discover a song from your teenaged years you'd completely forgotten existed and actually liked.

[undine]

Ah, sweet memories of the early teenage days. I liked to wake up with this at the radio. Much love from México!🤘😽💞 💐

So many kids born in the 2000’s will be vibing to Dua Lipa not knowing this song even exists. I hope when they do find this song it brings them as much joy as it did for us 80’s and 90’s babies. ❤️

Edit: To the people commenting “it’s a sample from the 1930’s” - Thanks for the history lesson.

[MrDevinmitchell]

This song has not aged at all. It could come out now and be streamed millions of times. The hook has always been killer. Love it

[junjomo]

I work at H&M and this song will play every now and then, always a treat to hear. Especially compared to the other mind-numbing songs they constantly play there. Thanks for making this song.

*This* *is* *not* *song* *.*
*This* *is* *timeless* *masterpiece* *.*

[HelloHello-bvul]

I remember this listening to this song on the radio when I was preparing to go to school in 1997. This feels so nostalgic

[nickyanitacosmicreative]

I was 26 when I first heard this infectious tune! 🤩 Now at '53'.. I'm like where did the 27 years go?!?! It feels the same just like when it first hit my ears back in '97! 🥰 Thank You JM for this Timeless Masterpiece! 😍

[stacywragg]

I was 14 now in my 40s still a great track, 2024 who's with me 😅

[martinbassett]

A masterpiece. Human relationships summarised in four minutes. It evokes perfectly the feelings of desperation and impending doom of being in love with a partner who doesn’t feel the same way. Some sort of tragedy is inevitable. Nice to see her be the one to survive and get her heart back. Many don’t.. :(

[JyotiMishra]

I had a lot of comments that the audio was too low so I re-mastered it AND the vid is now in the right aspect ratio, not squished. Enjoy!!

[CHIIIEEEEEEEEFFFFSSS]

Fear Street fans coming this way.

If you've never heard it before, this is unironically my favorite 90s Jam.

[Flopster]

I'm argentinian 🇦🇷 and 20 years old. I heard this song from a paraguayan FM radio station which plays old music all the time (and which I can weakly pick up from my home because I live in the northeastern part of the country), and immediately fell in LOVE with it!!

I had to wait until they played it again so I could Shazam it, and here I am :)

[adamlewis]

Absolute time capsule this track. Watching mtv before school with this gem on. Guy made it in his bedroom and sampled a piece from
1932. Absolute magic.

[DaveAndBeth]

Gawd I was 19 when this came out - now 45! My 11-year-old son was playing Love Again by Dua Lipa earlier today, so had to look this up... The incredible thing is both Love Again and Your Woman are based on a sample of Lew Stone and Al Bowlly's 1932 recording "My Woman" - which was one of my late grandma's favourite songs! Such a timeless piece of music that has entertained and enamoured several generations of my family - I like the Dua Lipa song too, and really like White Town, but LOVE the original Stone / Bowlly song! Just shows that truly great music always stands the test of time, and that music has no expiry date or age limit😮
