First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
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, be 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
And 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-oh
First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman (be a woman)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Be a woman
When he takes you out to dine
Don't you end up in his bed
Wedding doesn't 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-oh
You can be an executive
You can drive a train
You can be a detective
But first, be a woman
First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman (be a woman)
First, be a woman (be a woman)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Be a woman
Oh-oh, be a woman
