Lyrics: The nights are too long When the questions are too long I try But i... will never understand What do you see in him? What do you see in her? oh.. da da da She’s the lifeblood of me As you walk hand in hand And I try, and I try, and I try But I will never understand Oh, What Do You See In her? I Ask Myself, What do you see in her? oh... she will plague you And I will be glad she will plague you And I will be glad From Passions Just like Mine: Quotes Morrissey friend James Maker states in his “Autofellatio“ book: “Initially, [Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke¸] were not particularly comfortable with the connotations of Morrissey’s prescient homoeroticism. The title of What Do You See In Her? [sic] was changed to Wonderful Woman for this very reason because of a concern that the group might be construed as gay. However, it was evident from the beginning that the songwriting, the conceptualisation of the group’s identity and the public voice of The Smiths lay exclusively in the hands of Morrissey and Marr. Consultation with Rourke and Joyce in this regard was superfluous.“.
