Gloria Gaynor - First be a woman lyrics

You can go to Harvard, you can be a pilot

You can be an astronaut but first, be a woman, ooh ooh...

When you're walking down the street, show your feminine appeal

Even though you're wearing jeans,, it's important to be real

You were born to be yourself, so no matter how you feel

If you want to impress the opposite sex

When he takes you for a ride, let him open you the door

When he asks you for a dance, let him lead you to the floor

When he kisses you good night, you just leave him wanting more

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... oh oh oh oh

When he takes you out to dine, don't you end up in his bed?

Wedding bells will ring in 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

Nowadays it ends too soon even though it's just begun

You can take him to the moon, he'll leave with the morning sun

So take a lesson from the past, make him want and make him run

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... oh oh oh oh

First be a woman, first be a woman, first be a woman... oh, be a woman

You can't be a quarterback, he can't wear a pretty dress

You cannot be Superman and he's not a shy princess

So why try to be alike, when it's only self defense?

You've got grace, he's got style and together you'll rhyme

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

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... oh oh oh oh

First be a woman, first be a woman, first be a woman...

Be a woman, be a woman...

You can be an executive, hhh! You can drive a train

You can be a detective...
