Lyrics

First off, I must tell you the story of this girl
She got to me though red coral
Now she just sits back and rests on her laurels
Her looks had gone to hell in the tortoise shell
Reflecting morning dew, she's lightly brushed with rouge
I feel for her
Yeah, she's a woman
I gave her a dressing gown of almond brown
Bare like a fawn she put it on
And cracked a smiled like a crocodile
Her looks and gone to hell in the tortoise shel
Reflecting something new, I fixed the shell with glue
I feel for her
Yeah, she's a woman
Before she only wore jewelry for the freckled boy
Raccoon eyes lightened by fireflies showed her what's right
Her looks had gone to hell in the tortoise shell
Reflecting morning dew, she's lightly brushed with rouge
I feel for her
Yeah, she's a woman
