Bye Bye Birdie movie - How Lovely To Be A Woman lyrics

rate me

When you're a skinny child of fourteen,

Wired with braces from ear to ear,

You dought that you will ever be appealing.

Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen

And the braces disappear

And your skin is smooth and clear

And you have that happy grown-up female feeling.

How lovely to be a woman,

The wait was well worth while;

How lovely to wear mascara

And smile a woman's smile.

How lovely to have a figure,

That's round instead of flat;

Whenever you hear boys whistle,

You're what they're whistling at!

It's wonderful to feel

The way a woman feels;

It gives you such a glow just to know

You're wearing lipstick and heels!

How lovely to be a woman

And have one job to do;

To pick out a boy and train him

And then when you are through,

You've made him the man you want him to be!

Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!

How wonderful to know

The things a woman knows;

How marvelous to wait for a date

In simply beautiful clothes!

How lovely to be a woman

And change from boys to men,

To go to a fancy nightclub

And stay out after ten.

How lovely to be so grown-up and free!

Life's lovely when you're a woman like me!
