fiogf49gjkf0d I dressed up in my mommas clothes
wore her high heeled shoes put on her make up, too
danced around the floor stared in the mirror some more
at the set of pearl earrings hanging at four foot two
And i would close my eyes
pretend to be twenty-two
like a grown-up lady playing little girls do
And I would say out loud to my teddy bear crowd
a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do...
Chorus
And I danced like a woman
and I talked like a woman
and I walk like a woman
and I'd say like a woman...
I've had ribbons and bows
oh, lace and curls
but I'm a woman today
Goodbye little girl
I left home eighteen years old
doing what a girl thought a woman would do
but what I didn't know and learned on my own
It takes more than leaving home
to make a woman outta you
So I found my love when he found me
thought I was grown or pretended to be
so I gave him my all gave him all of me
and it took that man to make a woman outta me
Chorus
Made love like a woman
gave it up like a woman
and I'd trust like a woman
but I had to get hurt as a woman to know...
that I've had ribbons and bows
oh, lace and curls
but I'm a woman today
Goodbye little girl
