When you're walkin' down a street Don't forget your sex appeal Even though you're wearin' 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 apple success
When he takes you on a ride Let him open you the door When you asks you for a dance Let him lead you to the floor When he kisses you good night Let him come and beg you for more
[CHORUS] You can do all you can Say I am what I am But first be a woman First be a woman First be a woman
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
Ends too soon Even though 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 him sweat and make him run
[Repeat CHORUS]
Ohhhhh, ohh ohhhh
[BRIDGE]
You can't be a quarterback He can't wear a sexy dress You cannot be Superman And he's not a So why try to be a When it's only self-defense
You've got grace, he's got style And together you ride 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
[Repeat CHORUS]
(First be a woman) First be a woman (First be a woman) First be a woman (First be a woman) First be a woman
[BRIDGE]
When you're walkin' down a street Don't forget your sex appeal Even though you're wearin' 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) First be a woman (First be a woman) First be a woman (First be a woman) First be a woman
