[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
A strong and reliable daughter
A kind and understanding sister
A dear and attentive friend and lover
A girl with her heart on fire

[Verse 3]
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
