Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Is it the way I talk sweet
The way my skin is soft
Or how I can be a bitch
Make you keep your fingers crossed
[Verse 2]
Is it the way that I praise you
The way that I please you
Or how fast I change my mind
And get scared that I might leave you
[Chorus]
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
That's what makes a woman to me
[Verse 3]
Is it the way I cut my hair
And put no make up on
I feel most beautiful
Doing what the fuck I want
[Verse 4]
Is it that my intuition
Is never really off
I need tissues for my issues
And band aids for my heart
[Chorus]
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
She's always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life, but you couldn't
Describe what makes a woman
That's what makes a woman to me
That's what makes a woman to me
[Bridge]
Is it the way we keep
The whole world turning
In a pair of heels
Yeah, that's what makes a woman
[Outro]
There it is, Katheryn
