Lyrics
What Makes a Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is it the way I talk sweet?
The way my skin is soft?
Or how I can be a bitch
And make you keep your fingers crossed?
Is it the way that I praise you?
The way that I please you?
Or how fast I change my mind
And get scared that I might leave you?
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
And that's what makes a woman to me
Is it the way I cut my hair and put no makeup on?
I feel most beautiful doing what the fuck I want
Is it that my intuition is never really off?
I need tissues for my issues and band-aids for my heart
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
And that's what makes a woman to me
Is it the way we keep the whole world turning
In a pair of heels?
Yeah, that's what makes a woman
(There it is Kathryn)
