First be a woman

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 tho´ 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... 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 tho´ 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´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
You can be an executive
Hhh! You can drive a train
You can be a detective...
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 tho´ 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... 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
