[Verse 1]
Say goodbye, that will never do
Though sometimes I have wanted to
Man, I'm crazy about you
Though sometimes I wanted to leave you
But that just won't do
[Verse 2]
Say hello to a brand new me
Somewhere I read: "Woman must be free"
I can't go that way
I need my man more and more each day
And I wanna say
[Chorus]
I like being a woman
I like being a girl
I like being a woman
Putting my hair in big curls
Just a girl...
[Verse 3]
Man, I'm yours, I am but a slave
When it comes to love like a big strong tank
Man, I'm crazy about you
Though sometimes I wanted to leave you
But that just won't do
[Verse 4]
Take my love, see how much I care
I'll take my flight like a bird in air
But don't do that to me
I'll probably fly right into a tree
Can't you see?
[Chorus]
I like being a woman
I like being a girl
I like being a woman
Wearing diamonds and pearls
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
Just a girl...
[Spoken monologue]
You know, women's liberation is cool
I mean, it's got it's good points and it's bad points
But you know sometimes... I just wanna be loved
And that's when I become your slave
I don't wanna be your equal, I just wanna be a part of you
All you gotta do is treat me like you treat yourself
When I'm weak, I need you to make me strong
I want you to take care of me
I want you to love me like I'm gonna love you
I want you to need me like I need you
'Cause baby, I wanna respect you and everything about you
'Cause I want you
[Outro]
Just a girl, just a girl
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl (I like being a woman)
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl (I like being a woman)
Just a girl
Just a girl, just a girl ( I like being a woman)
Just a girl
