If I know just what to say When some trouble heads his way And can make him feel That everything is good Then I act like a woman And he likes a woman To act like a woman should
If he's late and I'm alone And he doesn't telephone And the kiss that greets him Says I understood Then I act like a woman And he likes a woman To act like a woman should
And if I keep that love light Shining in my eyes Though I'm hurt by something He may say It doesn't take him very long To realize That it's more than just devotion That makes me act that way
And as years go passing by If I still can catch his eye And his love runs deeper Than he thought it could Then I act like a woman And he's got a woman Who acts like a woman Like a woman should
