I just want to be a lady
On Tuesday afternoons
I just want to be a lady
On Tuesday afternoons

Oh how many woods would a wood chuck chuck
If a wood chuck could chuck wood
There are some things in your nature
That can forge your signature

I've met the girls in boots
By the dead end of the road
There comes a point where every king
Dreams of being exposed
You can take my word on this
'Cause you know I am a pro
When all is said and done
A woman is still a woman

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la...

I know you're from the village
And I want you to be proud
But with your new found freedom
There are some things not allowed

Liberation was the first step
But you're old enough to know
Once you've made it to the field
The only way's back in the hole

I've tallied the confessions
And I've seen what's at the end
All long to shiver at the mercy
Of the mighty hand
It takes a PhD to know
What apes all understand
When all is said and done
A woman is still a woman

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la...

The one who writes the book
Is the likeliest to fall
Part of being an adult
Is the feeling you're a fraud

Liberation was the first step
But that too becomes a brand
No matter where you pledge allegiance
You'll always be damned

Now you've shown that you can kill
Be the peach upon the stem
Now we've seen you chop the wood
Leave that shit to someone else

I just want to be a lady
On Tuesday afternoons
But I'm back in office Wednesdays
Call my secretary to book

I've met the girls in boots
By the dead end of the road
There comes a point where every king
Dreams of being exposed
It may take a year or two
But once you've gotten them unclothed
When all is said and done
A woman is still a woman

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la...
