Gloria Gaynor First Be A Woman Lyrics

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 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...
