Leonore O'malley - First Be A Woman Lyrics

When you're walking down the street
Don't forget your sex appeal
Even tho' you're wearing jeans
It's important to be real
You were born to be yourself
So no matter how you feel
If you want to impress
Be the opposite sex

When he takes you for a ride
Let him open you the door
When he asks you for a dance
Let him lead you to the floor
When he kisses you good night
Making come back for more
You can do all you can
Say i am what i am
But first be a woman
First be a woman (2x)

When he takes you out to dine
Don't go rushing to his bed
Give yourself a little time
Make him dream of you instead
And his passion can be like
All the stories that you've read
He can be romeo if you act like juliet

Nowadays it ends too soon
Even tho' it's just begun
You can take him to the moon
He'll leave with the morning sun
Take a lesson from the past
Make a swan and make him run
You can do all you can
Say i am what i am
But first be a woman
First be a woman (2x)

You can't be a quarterback
He can't wear a sexy dress
You cannot be superman
And he's not a shy princess
So why try to be alike
When it's only self defense?
You've got grace, he's got style
And together you'll rhyme

So remember to be true
To the legend that you are
All the feminine in you
Has worked miracles so far
So head up high and don't be shy
You can reach for any star
You can do all you can
Say i am what i am
But first be a woman
First be a woman (2x)
Be a woman
First be a woman (3x)

When you're walking down the street
Don't forget your sex appeal
Even tho' you're wearing jeans
It's important to be real
You were born to be yourself
So no matter how you feel
Head up high don't be shy
First be a woman (3x)

You can do all you can
Say i am what i am
First be a woman (3x)
Be a woman
First be a woman (3x)
