When you're walking down the street 
Show your feminine appeal, 
Even though 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 the opposite  
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 
You just leave him wanting more, 
You can do all you can, 
Say I am what I am 
But first be a woman... 

When he takes you out to dine, 
Don't you end up in his bed, 
Wedding bells will ring in 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 though it's just begun 

You can take him to the Moon, 
He'll leave with the morning sun, 
So take a lesson from the past, 
Make him want and make [bad word]  
You can do all you can, 
Say I am what I am, 
But first be a woman... 

You can't be a quarterback, 
He can't wear a pretty 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 [bad word] 
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...
