[Verse 1]
The guys are gonna want to (Ha)
Go out and play sometimes
But girls, you must not (Ha)
Let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match your guys two for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do, no no
End up in the gutter

[Chorus]
Because girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, ho

[Verse 2]
And listen, girls, when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match your man two for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do, no no
End up in the gutter
[Chorus]
'Cause girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, ho-oh

[Bridge]
When you put your faith in one guy
Sometimes he'll make you happy
Sometimes he'll make you cry
But don't lose your self-respect
Trying to get revenge
'Cause no matter how you do it
Don't try to do the things that the guys do, no no
You'll lose out in the end

[Chorus]
'Cause girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No
