Eileen Rodgers - Femininity

Why can't I be the girl that I want to be? Why can't I be the girl that I'm not? Why do men always look as they look when they look at me? I must have something, but what have I got? I say I'd like to join the married class The man says, "Yes, my dear" Then makes another pass Femininity Femininity I guess I'm overblessed with femininity I want the family life, woman's career But all that I get is a pinch on the rear Femininity My femininity Just seems to bring out basic masculinity There's only one thing they want, that's understood I tell thеm I shouldn't They tell me I should Thеre must be other ways to make a man feel good All I do is simply stand there All at one side, feel a hand there Begging for my femininity Femininity Femininity Just seems to bring a crowd to my vicinity Other girls have the same, these, them and those But they always manage to stay in their clothes Personality My personality Just makes them all expect my hospitality When a man brings me home, I ask him in I only intend to have one little gin Why do I always end up on the tiger skin? There are times I can't help feeling As I'm staring at the ceiling What's the point of femininity?
