The Benediction (A Good Woman) - Rose Cousins

Take me for word, I will be loyal

I will do my best to remain joyful

Love me for all my little foibles

I wanna be a good woman

Call me by my name and I will answer

Ask me of my dreams, here and ever after

Spin me to the music, I’m no dancer

I wanna be a good woman

A strong and reliable daughter

A kind and understanding sister

A dear and attentive friend and lover

A girl with her heart on fire

Listen and you’ll hear what I am saying

Feelings I have difficulty relaying

My silence isn’t absence, I’m just praying

I wanna be a good woman

I wanna be a good woman
