She Acts Like a Woman Should

If you know just what to say

When some trouble heads his way

And can make him feel that everything is good

Then I act like a woman

And he likes a woman

To act like a woman should

If it's late and I'm alone

And he doesn't telephone

And the kiss that greets him says "I understood"

Then I act like a woman

And he likes a woman

To act like a woman should

And if I keep that lovelight

Shining in my eyes

Though I'm hurt by something he might say

It doesn't take him very long to realize

That it's more than just devotion

That makes me act that way

And as years go passing by

If I still can catch his eye

And his love runs deeper than he thought it could

Then I act like a woman

And he's got a woman

Who acts like a woman, like a woman should
