Lyrics Like a Woman Should - Marilyn Monroe

Like a Woman Should

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
