How Lovely To Be A Woman Lyrics - Ann-margret

When you're a skinny child of fifteen, 

Wide with braces from ear to ear, 

You doubt that you will ever be appealing. 

Then Hallelujah! You are sixteen 

And the braces disappear 

And your skin is smooth and clear 

And you have that happy grown-up female feeling. 

How lovely to be a woman, 

The wait was well worth while; 

How lovely to wear mascara 

And smile a woman's smile. 

How lovely to have a figure, 

That's round instead of flat; 

Whenever you hear boys whistle, 

You're what they're whistling at. 

It's wonderful to feel 

The way a woman feels; 

It gives you such a glow just to know 

You're wearing lipstick and heels! 

How lovely to be a woman 

And have one job to do; 

To pick out a boy and train him 

And then when you are through, 

You've made him the man you want him to be! 

Life's lovely when you're a woman like me! 

How wonderful to know 

The things a woman knows; 

How marvelous to wait for a date 

In simply beautiful clothes! 

How lovely to be a woman 

And change from boys to men, 

To go to a fancy nightclub 

And stay out after ten. 

How lovely to be so grown-up and free! 

Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
