"Woman, Woman" is a hit song written by Jim Glaser and Jimmy Payne, recorded by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap using session musicians from The Wrecking Crew for their 1968 debut album, Woman, Woman. 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 went to number 3 in Cash Box and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1968.
The band recorded the song in August 1967. This was the group's debut single. It was certified as a million-selling Gold disc in February 1968. The B-side was a cover of the Tim Hardin song "Don't Make Promises".
An international success, the song went to number 1 in Canada in 1967 and also reached number 7 in Australia.
The song was reissued in 1974 as the B-side to "Young Girl". It went to number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
