Womanhood

Well, he said hold on, Patricia

I only tried to kiss ya

She said okay and then said don't you dare

She seems so badly shaking

He thought he was mistaken

But it sure looked like she bowed her head in prayer

I am a Christian, Lord

But I'm a woman too

If you are listening, Lord

Please show me what to do

I've tried hard to be what mama says is good

As I step into my womanhood

Shortly after midnight

She turned off the porch light

Walked into her bedroom all alone

She sat down and said

Well, Lord

God, I've been through hell, Lord

Wondering if I did right or wrong

I am a Christian

Lord, but I'm a woman too

If you are listening, Lord

Please show me what to do

I've tried hard to be what mama says is good

As I step into my womanhood

One more time

You heard, yes, I am a Christian, Lord

But I'm a woman too

If you are listening, Lord

Please show me what to do

I've tried hard to be what mama says is good

As I step into my womanhood

Slowly slip into my womanhood

Slowly slip into my womanhoo-oo-oo-ood...
