Girls Were Made to Take Care of Boys - Billie Holiday

Girls were made to take care of boys

To be kind and dutiful

Hmmm…

Girls were made to take care of boys

Made to share their sorrows

Made to share their joys

Made to help and guide them

With ever a patient hand

Made to give affection

In the right direction

(Always understand)

Now boys may think they take care of girls

Just because they pass on their fashions and their curls

But I’ve always found

It’s just the other way around

(Other way around)

If you need the girl

And declare you do

(Tell her that you need her)

She’ll be there

To take care of you

(She'll be there)

(Now boys may think they take care of girls

Just because they’re clever with their fashions and their curls)

But I’ve always found

It’s just the other way around
