"Woman, Woman" is the debut single by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, from their 1968 debut album Woman, Woman.[2] It was written and composed by Jim Glaser and Jimmy Payne, and uses session musicians from The Wrecking Crew.[3] Like most of the band's hits, it is a ballad centered around Gary Puckett's soulful vocals. The lyrics are from the perspective of a man who senses that his wife is dissatisfied with him sexually, and fears that she is going to start cheating on him. The song was inspired by Jim Glaser and Mel Tillis discussing Tillis' song Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town. The song went to number 3 on Cash Box and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1968.[4]
