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 lovelight 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 should
