Like a Woman Should - Marilyn Monroe

If I know just what to say when some trouble heads his way

And can make him feel that everything is good

Then I act like a woman and he likes a woman

To act like a woman should

If he’s late and I’m alone and he doesn’t telephone

And the kiss that greets him says «I understood»

Then I act like a woman and he likes a woman

To act like a woman should

And if I keep that lovelight shining in my eyes

Though I’m hurt by something he may say

It doesn’t take him very long to realize

That it’s more than just devotion that makes me act that way

And as years go passing by, if I still can catch his eye

And his love runs deeper than he thought it could

Then I act like a woman and he’s got

A woman who acts like a woman should
