First Be A Woman

Gloria Gaynor

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...
