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.
