Riley Jeannie C - I'll Be A Woman of the World lyrics

(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
