Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 5]
That's what makes a woman to me
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 6]
Is it the way we keep the whole world turning?
In a pair of heels, yeah, that's what makes a woman
