"A Woman Is a Sometime Thing" is a song from George Gershwin's groundbreaking 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. With lyrics by Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward, the song is performed by the character Jake, who advises his child that women can be unpredictable and not always reliable. Blending jazz, blues, and folk influences, the song reflects the opera's rich fusion of African American musical styles. Though lighthearted in tone, "A Woman Is a Sometime Thing" touches on themes of gender roles and relationships. Porgy and Bess, and this song in particular, helped solidify Gershwin's place in American musical history, showcasing his ability to integrate diverse genres into his compositions.
