I'll Be A Woman Of The World Lyrics - Singles - Riley Jeannie C

(Jeannie C. Riley) 

You look at me with respect and admiration 

You look at her with hunger and starvation 

But you say she's no good she's a woman of the world 

Well, your good girl's tired of bein' good while you're with her in her world. 

You want my dress below my knees and never up above 'em 

She wears her mini-skirts up high and on her you love 'em 

You say she's just a thing for kicks she'd never make a wife 

Well, your good girl's tired of waitin' and I'm gonna change my life. 

You say I'm in your heart yet she's in your arms each night 

Respect can't keep me warm nor admiration hold me tight 

So take one last look at your good ole fashion girl 

'Cause the next time you see me I'll be a woman of the world. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Well, I can see that bein' good is gettin' me nowhere 

So I'll paint up my face and I'll let down my hair 

Go find another good girl then come join in my new world 

She can wait at home while you're out with this woman of the world. 

You say I'm in your heart yet she's in your arms each night 

Respect can't keep me warm nor admiration hold me tight 

So take one last look at your good ole fashion girl 

'Cause the next time you see me I'll be a woman of the world
