[Verse 1]
I was just a girl, innocent like a dove
I was just a girl, no thoughts of making love
I was just a girl, and holding hands was enough
I was just a girl, a man didn't mean as much
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman
[Verse 2]
I was just a girl, flirting was all it was
I was just a girl, I kept feelings bottled up
I was just a girl, that never knew how to trust
I was just a girl, love didn't mean as much
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman (A sensual woman)
Now I need someone who has somethin' in common (Who)
Now I need someone, someone, someone
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't have to make lots of cheddar (No, no)
And he don't have to write love letters (Oh)
You don't have to front with the fellas (Fellas)
'Cause I'ma let you know if you can get up
[Chorus]
So come as you are (Baby)
So come as you are (Baby)
So come as you are (Baby)
Come for my heart (Oh)
[Verse 3]
I was just a, I was just a, I was just a girl, sweet like honey
I was just a girl, used to spending money
I was just a girl, you couldn't buy me
I was just a girl, that wrote in a diary
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman (Passionate woman)
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman (Yes, I am)
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman (Yeah)
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman (Hey)
[Verse 4]
I was just a girl, so soft-spoken
I was just a girl, mind wasn't open
I was just a girl, my work had me focused
I was just a girl, I was lonely in the showbiz
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman (Woman)
Now I need someone who has something in common (Something that I got)
Now I need someone, someone, someone
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't have to make lots of cheddar (I don't need you for your money)
And he don't have to write love letters (Baby, just holla at me)
You don't have to front with the fellas (No, you don't)
'Cause I'ma let you know if you can get up
[Chorus]
So come as you are
So come as you are (Come as you are)
So come as you are (Need you just the way you are)
Come for my heart (Baby, baby)
[Bridge]
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
I need a man who's sure of himself
I need a man who's true to himself
I need a man who does for himself
I need a man who ain’t all for self
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't have to make lots of cheddar (I just need your love)
And he don't have to write love letters (Baby, give it all to me)
You don't have to front with the fellas (Oh)
'Cause I'ma let you know if you can get up ('Cause I need you)
[Chorus]
So come as you are
So come as you are (Baby, I love you)
So come as you are (Oh, I need you desperately)
Come for my heart (Hey)
