Even back at school, the boys all laughed
But I really didn't care
She was so cute, her legs were so long
I went to her ballet class for almost a year
When I found out she was into the environment
I stitched ''No, thanks'' onto my parka
She didn't care about that back then
But since then I know who rules the world
The way the walk and stand
The way they look at you
And your wallet and heart start to open up
And you buy a ring and a mink coat
One seductive glance
And your political views start to change
It's not the boss or the action heroes
It's not the state or the mafia money
Women rule the world
All the stops, from coquettish to naive
Even as babies, they had a hold on their fathers
They give everything when there's something they want
And you bang your head against a brick wall when they're sulking
You make a fool of yourself
And let yourself get beaten up
Just so the girls would look over just once
They can push Beckham
And overthrow Clinton
Without even having to form a party
The way the walk and stand
The way they look at you
And your wallet and heart start to open up
And you buy a ring and a mink coat
One seductive glance
And your political views start to change
It's not the boss or the action heroes
It's not the state or the mafia money
Women rule the world
The way the walk and stand
The way they look at you
And your wallet and heart start to open up
And you buy a ring and a mink coat
One seductive glance
And your political views start to change
It's not the boss or the action heroes
It's not the state or the mafia money
Women rule the world
