Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Well he said hold on Patricia
I only tried to kiss ya
She said OK and then said don’t you dare
She seems so badly shakin’
He thought he was mistaken
But it sure looked like she bowed her head in prayer

I am a Christian Lord, but I’m a woman too
If you are listenin’ Lord, please show me what to do
I’ve tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood

Shortly after midnight
She turned off the porch light
Walked into her bedroom all alone
She sat down and said well, Lord
God, I’ve been through hell, Lord
Wonderin’ if I did right or wrong

I am a Christian Lord, but I’m a woman to
If you are listenin’ Lord, please show me what to do
I’ve tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood
One more time

You heard, yes I am a Christian Lord, but I’m a woman too
If you are listenin’ Lord, please show me what to do
I’ve tried hard to be what mama says is good
As I step into my womanhood

Slowly slip into my womanhood
Slowly slip into my womanhoo-oo-oo-ood…
