I Like Being a Woman

Say goodbye, that will never do
Though sometimes I have wanted to
Man, I'm crazy about you
Though sometimes I wanted to leave you
But that just won't do

Say hello to a brand new me
Somewhere I read: "Woman must be free"
I can't go that way
I need my man more and more each day
And I wanna say

I like being a woman
I like being a girl
I like being a woman
Putting on head of big curls
Just a girl...

Man, I'm yours, I am but a slave
When it comes to love like a big strong tape
Man, I'm crazy about you
Though sometimes I wanted to leave you
But that just won't do

Take my love, see how much I care
I'll take my life like a bird in air
But don't do that to me
I'll probably fly right into a tree
Can't you see?

I like being a woman
I like being a girl
I like being a woman
Wearing diamonds and pearls
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...

[spoken monologue]
You know, women's liberation is cool.
I mean, it had its good points and its bad points.
But you know sometimes... I just want to be loved,
And that's why I become your slave.
I don't want to be your equal, I just want to be a part of you.
All you gotta do is treat me like you treat yourself.
When I'm weak, I need you to be strong.
I want you to take care of me.
I want you to love me like I'm gonna love you.
I want you to need me like I need you.
'Cause baby, I want to respect you and everything about you
'Cause I want you.

Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl (I like being a woman)
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl (I like being a woman)
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl (I like being a woman)
Just a girl
