He said hold on Patricia
I only try to kiss ya
She said "Okay", and then said "don't you dare
She seemed so badly shaken
He thought he was mistaken
But it sure looked liked she bowed her head and prayed
(I heard her sigh) I am a christian Lord, but I'm a woman too
(I heard her cry) If You are listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
(I saw her try) I tried so hard to be what mama said was good
As I slip into my womanhood ...
Shortly after midnight, she turned off the porch light
And walked into her bedroom all alone
She sat down and said "Well Lord, tonight I've been through hell Lord"
Wonderin' if I was right or wrong
(I heard her sigh) I am a christian Lord, but I'm a woman too
(I heard her cry) If You are listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
(I saw her try) I tried so hard to be what mama said was good
As I slip into my womanhood ...
(He heard her sigh) I am a christian Lord, but I'm a woman too
(He heard her cry) If You are
Listenin' Lord, please show me what to do
(He saw her try) I tried so hard to be what mama said was good
As I slip into my womanhood
Slowly slip into my womanhood
Slowly slip into my womanhood
